How Worthless

The biggest wars ever fought, leave horrifying statistics, impoverished nations, and after all, no positive result at all. The Art Of War hinders the classical objective of battle. It raises an underlining question, what is worth? According to this ancient text, it wasn’t, as it follows the traditional saying, “the best fight is the one which isn’t fought.” The common interpretation infers simply avoiding fights, although, in the book it is rather understood as being efficient on every aspect regarding the destabilization of once foe, creating a fast surrender. “The best policy is to use strategy, influence, and the trend of events to cause the adversary to submit willingly.” (Tzu-Cleary. pp 33.)
The real fight the leaders have to battle is to avoid deaths, prolongation, and sustaining. wars are always very long, those leading should base their strategies on the quick finishing of it. The financial sector will be the most affected, as explained by Master Sun, “When resources are exhausted, then levies are made under pressure. When power and resources are exhausted, then the homeland is drained. The common people are deprived of seventy percent of their budget, while the governments expenses for equipment amount to sixty percent of its budget.” (Tze-Cleary. Pp 27)
In conclusion wars for the past millenniums have been exceedingly stupid and inefficient. Crating millions of death, and loses. Again, where they worth it?
