Double-Bladed Sword


For a RPG gamers, martial-artists, or just a weapon lovers, Double-Blade sword is not something unfamiliar for them. Double-Blade Sword is a sword which in two side, front-back or left-right, are pointed sharp. The double-bladed sword consisted of two opposing blades set at differing directions and connected by a hilt that was generally longer then that which would have been used on two separate swords.

This weapon have a high damage ability, since it deadly in both side, but the user is also in danger, since when one point the edge to one opponent, one also point other edge to oneself. Therefore this weapon only used by an highly expert in martial-arts.

No, I didn't start blabbing about sword because I like fantasy and historical story, but I'm using it as a metaphor. Everything in the world is double-bladed swords. Like knife can be useful to cut vegetables, meat or chop onion, it can also being used to stab people. Even a pen can be used to stab people's eye (as it seen in movie Resident Evil 2). Lately there's been a discussion about either facebook are should be forbid or not. I think facebook are also double-bladed swords. You can use it for contacting your friends, reminisce past fun times (by looking at pictures), expanding your social relation, but of course it can be consuming. It consume your time, your concentration, your focus, and we not even mention the possibility of causing jealousy, bragging, and narsism. But hey, like any other things, it all depend on the user, will one used it for one goods or harm oneself? The key to use everything is to realize it potency and also the risk.

So have you?
