THE RIGHT COURSE OF ACTION

Collective wisdom mediates the aggression that affects our society. When we bring about the desired effect without creating a bigger war, we have followed the right course of action. The action is not skillful when it bolsters the resistance of the other. This is solved by understanding the details of the time and mediating them.

It is accepting that each situation has its own character and forms the content of its resolution. I am talking about the realities of each situation and understanding that the condition of the moment determines the means to victory. Yet, there are lessons to take from the past as the present comes the past.

So, I proceed to victory.

We are victorious.

It’s victory based the altruistic approach. She understands herself and the environment and sees those things that lead to bitter conflict and nip them in the bud.

When we set out to conquer the “enemy” through the exhausting of our resources and that of the opponents, we end up living the land empty and scattered. Much is no longer intact and less is available to build upon. It’s not about being weak, it’s about being strong to check those things that stampede our progress. And we do them delightfully for we cannot afford to be stampeded.

It’s said that “Destruction leaves only devastation, not just for those defeated, their dwellings and their earth, but also conquerors attempting to enforce their peace long after battle has passed.” This behavior is narrow and prone to unimaginable consequences. Ethnic aggression is narrow, the reason they always lead to devastating ends. But ethnic appreciation is an enriching behaviour. To be narrow is not to be moderating, accommodating and respecting of others intelligence. By this they resist themselves leading to violent aggressions.

Respecting our humanity, paying attention to ordinary details of our lives, responding appropriately to changing conditions and serving the common good, are ways out of destructive conflicts. This is large perspective. It’s powerful and attractive. It’s the output of not holding on to fixed position or identity in opposition to dispassionate judgement for progress. It about bringing opposing views to the realization of the ideas that bind them together and ensure beautiful outcomes. 

A well managed conflict is a source of strength to the political process. Seeing this, the competing groupings work together to expand the outcomes and attain inner peace and comfort, and they advance their collective wisdom. That’s the building ofhow great states are built.
