It reinforced what I allready knew.

A few bullet points-

1) Heroes and Martyrs are different. A martyr is willing to die for a cause; a hero is willing to live for one which is by far the more difficult of the two.

2a) Killing your enemies is a good thing. It keeps them from coming back and screwing with you and your loved ones later.

2b) Make sure after you kill your enemies that they stay dead or they'll keep coming back.

3) That the Truth is, generally speaking, a wholly different thing from "common knowledge." People collect a lot of different facts they "know" are "true" only for the Truth to be completely different.

4) Never doubt that a small, dedicated band of individuals can change the world.

5) Always question. Never take anything at face value. If someone says "The sky is blue" go look, one day you may just be surprised.
