I was going to reply to just one of your comments, but this one I think deserves, and has, a separate answer.
Sun Tzu wrote 'The Art of War'. Surrender is a tactic that can win a war. Not every battle can be won, and it is the war that matters. Not fighting battles you can't win leaves your forces intact for battles you might win.
Just fighting back when you're attacked, instead of considering all the options, including running away and recruiting more for the next battle (for example), will guarantee defeat.
Every battle is won before the forces are engaged.
All of these principles apply in this engagement, as well as wars fought with spears, guns, and missiles.
Indeed, thank you for this wisdom. I do have the weakness or flaw of just fighting. I need work on restraint and controlled engagement . RESPECT
