What about Sun Tzu?

Our current consciousness is in boiling state. It's a cliché, but it's not until you think about it that all boiling has a different context, and its cooling requires different tools. frequently we besides miss the fact that individual watches and always controls each “sense”. For the sake of order, the ferment is not controlled by classics, but by modern combinators and wisemen who, contrary to the spirit of times, want to keep to themselves what was.

For the sake of clarity, let us scope out of the Art of War, Sun Tzu, a Chinese strategist and commander who appeared about 500 years before Christ (Sun Tzu, Sun Pin) The Art of War, Helion Gliwice, 2004). Let us quote from the first chapter in our modern edition, and then effort to have an analogy with the times in which we live. Here he is:

War is the top substance of the state, the foundation of life and death, Tao endurance or destruction. It needs to be carefully considered and analysed.

Thus, it should be divided into 5 of the following elements, each being assessed on the basis of a diagnosis and the actual nature of it. The first is called Tao, the second Heaven, the 3rd Earth, the 4th Generals, the 5th law of military organization and discipline.

Tao makes the people full support power. So they will die with him, live with him, and fear no danger.

The sky contains yin and jang, cold and warm and conditions caused by seasons.

The earth covers far and close areas, hard and easy, extended and limited, as well as destructive and easy to defend.

Generals are characterized by wisdom, credibility, goodness, courage and strictness.

The rights of military organisation and discipline include rules of procedure, organisation, Tao command and logistics.

There are no generals who would not have heard of these 5 factors. Those who realize them will be victorious. Those who do not realize will lose.

So, erstwhile you do the exact presetrecognition of the comparison and determining the actual nature of the individual elements, ask questions:

Which ruler owns Tao?

Which general has more skills?

Who got the advanced hand of Heaven and Earth?

Whose laws and orders are followed more effectively?

Whose forces are greater?

Whose officers and soldiers are better trained?

Whose strategy of rewards and penalties is clearer?

Based on this knowledge, I know who will win and who will lose. (ss). 60-61)

For the sake of clarity, let's add additions:

1. In erstwhile Chinese military literature, general military matters were considered unclassical according to: "Classicism rules the state, not classicalism leads the army".

2. He who knows the enemy and knows himself is safe, even in a 100 battles. He who does not know the enemy and knows himself, sometimes wins and sometimes suffers defeat. Those who know neither the enemy nor themselves inevitably endure defeat in all fight.

There is usually a war where neither organization is able to resolve the dispute diplomaticly or arguments are presented in clear contradiction to rational current changes. No movement demands movement. War always, 1 way or another, involves the full state and all its citizens. From a human point of view, it is associated with something terrible – innocent people are always killed, in a quantity suitable for method progress; whereas from a historical point of view it is usually a natural defence or a desire to change the system, and thus an event that falls within the definition of Sun Tzi – regardless of time. So there's always The top substance of the state, the foundation of life and death – in the same relation for the Homeland as its citizens. In Poland, media yelling and irrational assessment of the modern political situation of the planet demands not only a silence, but besides a liable centre, which would be able to dominate the row of Polish souls. In II Poland, we knew ourselves and knew our enemies, so an independent state could be reborn. In III Poland, we do not know ourselves, nor have we identified the opponents with whom we are to fight a large fight, not only about the existence of the state, but above all about our subjectivity. We don't know our Tao, we don't grasp our Heaven or our Earth; our rights are destroyed and deformed, of generals, let everyone tell themselves. The same is actual in discipline – the sub-basement of our state, our culture and history. How many scientists have mastered the cognition from the 1000th anniversary of our culture and our nation? Where are they? Where are the cultural and war doctrines and the citizens to defend the states? Do we know what we're fighting about and what we're trying to do? What do we want to win?

Today Trump of our civilization is trying to reconstruct normality, and our elites are incapable to give themselves an autonomous voice, we see them either at the Berlin/Brussels doorknob, or Washington. It's been 35 years of theoretical freedom, and we can't beat the intellectual PRL. During this period, we have built no force and no concept. We are engaged in dressing reality in colorful puddles and words – not even Polish, but increasingly abroad and vulgar.

First of all, we request to learn the state – that is to teach what a woman isBeing; in the second halt dying for individual political parties, due to the fact that they are the ones with their real programs to search our votes, not the another way around, as it is today, and thirdly, the universal cognition of what the state is is to cut mediocrity from positions and not let parties to make fictional political programs and "put people in a bottle."
