The Enemy Doesn't Want You To Know This!
~~~~~~~~
~~~~
Be wise enough to know that the enemy often times provokes you into fight mode when the battlefield is your home ground, in order to destroy you together with everything you value; mysteriously keeping his hands clean in the dirty combat.
How does the enemy achieve this, one may wonder?
Well, to answer that let's do a quick review of the Fire Triangle.
What are the three basic ingredients requisite to ignite a fire?
*Fuel, Oxygen and Heat.
He simply pokes on your most sensitive spot to irritate you: touches on delicate issues knowing fully well that you will be upset (makes you gather up your own Fuel) thus giving you reason to fight (employs your emotions as Oxygen) and consistently annoys you (entertains conflict to heat up your emotions) and retires to watch you flare up in anger and self destruct.
No matter what you say,
No matter what you do,
No matter how much evidence you may draw to justify your role in this war
It's a Win-win situation to the opponent.
You can never beat the devil to his own game.
You can however resist the temptation to enroll.
In other words:
"Not every war is won by aggressively reciprocating the enemy's stunts and negative advances. The greatest victory sometimes lies in remaining calm and composed whilst the enemy wears himself out doing everything in his power to provoke you into battle".
Take it or leave it but it might be a bit late when you will finally realize that triumphing over a pig in a filthy pig sty may have given you the impression that you had won when all you did was make a complete fool of yourself.
*Fact*: You both end up all soiled up.
»You hate the outcome; the pig enjoyed it.
»You stained your pure linen and resent the repugnant stench; the pig has been launched into a state of perfect bliss and is actually living it up in it's shxt.
So be wise to know that not every provocation deserves your reaction.
Continue minding your own business and let the enemy waste his limited time busy minding yours.
