I've seen this phrase before: Kokoro no Tsurugi. 心の剣
"Sword of the Heart" or something like "The mind's sword".
コトバンク [ 時事問題、ニュースもわかるネット百科事典 ] seems to give it a negative connotation. Like it's some viewpoint or action that is harmful to yourself or others? That's sorta what I gathered from the statement.
There's a song basically about an individual living in a fantasy world, but he needs to break out and join the real world.
The ending almost seems like it uses the term in a positive sense.
I don't know if he's acknowledging that facing reality will bring pain? So he refers to it a "sword of the heart". Or is he saying that his mindset (heart/mind's sword) can help him conquer reality?
This is the reason I ask because the term is too ambiguous for me as a westerner.
The question basically is what's definition of the phrase "Kokoro no Tsurugi"? If anyone can offer examples that would be wonderful.
