It's a really beautiful metaphor I got from this Marine officer
It's an essay about progression, it goes something like you start off as a dull pocket knife, grow into a butter knife, then you become a sharp regular knife, then a bowie knife, and finally you graduate to a samurai sword. my english teacher said I should finish my essay on a note about growing into something that's sharper than a samurai sword.
I decided to just take the easy way out and write "So I can grow sharper than the edge of a samurai sword" or something like that
thanks guys I guess or not cuz y'all neva help me
That's not really a good metaphor. Blades are made sharper by taking material away, and the only way to preserve that sharpness is to never use it. Neither trait is particularly applicable to personal growth, which is generally additive and develops into further growth when it's applied.
what do you mean? A sword is still far more useful than something like a pocket knife
