When pushing hard means winning, peace and quiet feel like losing. It’s been on my mind lately.

Goodnight all ❤️

Have you read Sun Tzu? Yep, the Art of War bloke from yonks ago China. Very good at making a clear distinction between what constituted winning and losing. And the distinction is often not what you think.

Interesting. I’ve always felt the opposite. Peace and quiet is winning. Constantly fighting means loosing.
