6a. Many struggles are a waste of time and resources. Battles must be carefully chosen. The high ground is better identified preceding conflict. The immediate terrain and environment should be reconnoitered well before the start of any troubles. Escape points and bolt holes can thus be identified. Things can go wrong. If one knows where to run and hide, one will less likely be caught in a dead end and trapped. Feet are the optimal means. Speed distorts and hides detail. During conflict, small things may become great. Through planning, failure can become success. This Modern Warrior Archetype knows it may fail. It knows swagger is mainly theater.[1]
[1] After writing this last sentence, I started laughing as I recalled a drag queen loudly proclaiming, "it’s all just theater, baby."
