When I was in yoga teachers training we had to learn the Bagavad Gita, which I am sure you know.
In it, Arjuna, the hero, is reluctant to go into battle against his brother. And the Lord of battle convinces him that the greatest honor lies in the destruction of evil that is loved and cherished. Or something close to that - its been many years since that time. I remember that I did not agree with this assessment at all and we had some interesting discusions on the topic.
It is a hard decision and not at all clear cut. But I have been to that place, in my small way, and I learned that it is possible to overcome evil without war. Warriors respect force. Show them a force they cannot attack, maim or destroy and they will lay down their arms.
Love is the only way - it is the only force with no equal.
Perhaps the castle with the guitar is a metaphor for love.
Peace
