"I have no enemies" (Thorfinn - Vinland Saga)

"The best way to avenge yourself is to not be like the one who wronged you" -Marcus Aurelius

I love the first thing Thorfinn said, that many people ignore while focusing on "I have no enemies" - he says angry "how can I come and fight someone when talking about peace?" it's really simple yet powerful line

So many people mock him for being weak but nothing shows a man’s strength to curb his tendency for violence and stand by his resolve!

"All truly strong people are kind" -Vagabond

real masculinity is kindness forgiveness and acceptance. It's easy to be angry at the world and other people, thorfinn takes the harder route.

"Don't forgive because they deserve forgiveness, forgive because you deserve peace"

Thorfinn is the realest Main Character ive ever witness

His dad told him the first season when he found the dagger "who are you gonna kill with that?", thorfinn says my enemies thors replies "you don't have any enemies, no one is worth hurting" it's going full circle

I can’t put into words how impacting Thorfin’s character is. Goes to show anyone can become a better person in any aspect in life

It's so sad that people just wanted blood from season 2. It really blows my mind how far Thorfinn has come and I'd never have seen it coming in a million years. This story is one of the rare ones that makes me unable to wait for the anime anymore and press forward through the manga. These are cold hard life lessons through art. RIP Dad💜

What I think is lacking here is the realization that while its good to not force yourself with violence you also have to be strong enough to not be forced like Thorfinn.

I was one of those guys who was calling out this anime for no action, but the more I watched, seeing them clear the trees, plow the land, grow their first crops, I cannot explain the feeling I felt seeing them just.. Farm, this anime is just amazing

Jesus said "Love your enemies and do good to those who wrong you" basically this is the true meaning of strength and loving yourself and not being your own enemy.

What a lot of people misunderstand is that Thorfinn does not have a “no fight rule” he does fight but For someone else than himself/self defense.

Crazy how a show changed so many mindsets. I love art.

I'm impressed how Vinland Saga since the fist season talk about it, i remember that Thors one time says: "A real warrior don't need a sword", talking about the "first step" for deal with the violence of our life, just see that we don't need violence to live

Currently I am not having the best time. But this video helped me. "I do not have enemies" is such a beautiful quote. As of right now, the person that put me in the bad position that I am in is myself and nobody else, neither would I blame anyone else at all, not even indirectly. Knowing that I have no enemies means that even the one who harmed me so much, myself, is not my enemy. Moreover, knowing that I do not have enemies means that I can ask for help, I can ask for forgiveness from those I have hurt, I can ask my family for help and understanding. I DO NOT HAVE ENEMIES! NEITHER WILL I MAKE ENEMIES!

I've been through so much hatred and pain in my life. I lost everything and hated myself and everyone else for so long. It lead to distrust, anxiety and depression. This video has helped me realise that the only way for me to move on is to be kind to others and to love myself again. Its very much shifted my mindset I really appreciate it :)

Ali ibn Abi Talib once said -- " Give your enemy a thousand chances to become your friend, but don’t give your friend a single chance to become your enemy ." In a world where u r always told U gotta be on your toes every single second , u gotta grind very hard because every passing moment someone else is passing u.....being better than u ..... taking the spot u want . Although , i think this mindset can be used in a beneficial way BUT the problem is that fire goes away after a while......but guilt of loosing motivation yet again stays for a long long time. in this world something like this is needed....that calm is needed. in army u don't really see body builder looking dude getting in most of the time it's the out of shapes ones.....the little guys with the mindset . We need to reevaluate what is success ? Is working for a life where the main driving force is the collection of luxury cars, rolex , gucci really worth it ? Is it gonna matter in your death bed ? im not saying u shouldn't ever want those things ...... infact i would love to won one those fancy cars one day.....just don't make it your only goal . Working with the goal of helping others is much more lasting than any materialistic goal . We all will die one day.....maybe today....maybe tomorrow who truly knows ? Who's life is worth looking up to "the rich and successful guy who made sure everyone knew how rich he was , how many B**ches he had dying in hotel sweet looking hospital room ' or ' the old minimum wage earing man dying in rented apartment holding his wifes or kids hands who couldn't help much with his money but helped as much as he could and was kind and giving to everyone around him" ? Social media has made ppl believe only the top 1% does something for the world and have happiness the other 99% are nothing but hollow shells. But, if we actually look at TOP 1% / THE RICH / THE FAMOUSE / THE POWERFUL of the society they r basically the reason the world has so many crisis . So be the top 1% who r truly satisfied with what they have in life kinda ppl (that doesn't mean u shouldn't be getting better everyday , just don't always be on the fight mode) and try to pull the others in that group because " You Have No Enemies, my friend"

Man Vinland Saga is such a great piece of fiction and such depth, but damn I miss the old badass fighting scenes of Thorfinn.
