WAR

Sun Tzu, when he speaks about war, it is better not to engage in war.

True intelligence, true might mixed with wisdom, infused with power, and the ability to hold control means you beat your enemy before you ever need to go to war.

Going to war, desiring war, acting upon a mindset in which war is the outcome, war is the need, war is the hope, the desire means a man has never seen war. *Not even from the emotional perspective of.

You've never seen violence. You've never actually killed a man. You don't know what that does, war. You've never seen, smelled, tasted war.

A man who desires war, from an *emotional perspective, shows the lack of maturity, not only that he's never seen it, but that he cannot control his emotions, that he cannot control his will, that he cannot control others, that he lacks the nuance, the intelligence.

Yes, we could say war is bad, but truth is a three-sided blade and war is good for business.

So outside of truths of war, which it is violent and people make profit off of it, outside of the truth that war is something that those who have endured, seen, tasted, and smelled war do not wish upon anyone.

Someone who desires war signals to the world and those he wishes to engage in a battle, in hopes of a war, shows that, that man, or that “department” ,that thought process lacks intelligence, wisdom, and the might.

It is not wise to wish for war. And I understand that in our current climate, war is predominant.

Not only the thought, but the actual actions of wars happening around us.

And so it slips into the background, it fades into white noise.

But that should then signal to the wider understanding we hold as people of the world. There's something lacking in our leadership, there's something lacking in the gravitas.

For no one who is wise wishes for war.

“It is the supreme art of war to subdue your enemy without battle.” - Sun Tzu
