In modern warfare, I'm not so adept.. Help please.. There's open full scale warfare, then there's the most hidden guerilla warfare.. Then there's that cold warfare.. Then there's that psychological warfar, biological warfare, chemical warfare, spy warfare, trade warfare and then ideology warfare (free-world's democracy vs tyranny in all forms).. anything else?

Are these all appliable in spiritual warfare? Or is it ONLY that famed and well-known super-duper-zero-tolerance cut-the-head-of-the-snake combat strategy?

There are also interesting warfare (strategies) amongst plant and microorganisms to insect (size lvl) life as well.. Ya? All portraying and revealing various war battle strategies and philosophies, right? I believe Christians should master fully this terrific knowledge and not only leave this at the hands of military fanatics and greedy business tycoons.. Agreed?

Medical physicians of long ago used to wield ancient-unfamiliar-to-public strange medical languages both verbally and in worst possibly handwriting styles.. Now the customer-patient is put at its proper place as king customer that's being provided service, not the other weirdo way around.. How bout our spiritual physicians or pastors? Have they evolved to that level as well? To provide service to people, treating people as kings.. As universal customer service quality values dictates.. By making everything as easily understandable and most user friendly? I think this is just a part of military and business (warfare) philosophies and strategies.. (there was reform in (USA) military communications, if i wasn't wrong, right?)

I also remember mission accountants who would happily pounce on the opportunity to show who's the boss and inspite of the worst emergency predicaments insist business be done only in proper working hours of working days.. With reason to build a good (Christian) system.. Hehe..

While Christ, commander of the heavenly hosts and Son of God declared would go save a measly cow in a pit on a Sabbath..

I remember an NGO accountant deep in backwater disaster area doing just that, as well, in a weekend when masses of men in an area wrought with decades of military resistance and rebellion were massing at the NGO HQ.. Haha.. All the burden was then handed to me.. To have guts to stand face them squarely and negotiate.. Lucky I was able to pull off the job well hehe.. And everything ended well..

The Battle in a Newfangled Nutshell

The desire to live is the root of life.. Unfortunately, these desires come in 2 categories of either impulsive drives and soberly driven.. Both share the great urge to live but in reality may differ between night and day.. One may kill, mass murder, and do all imaginable horrendous acts such as done by petty thieves until tyrants of nations.. From hunger driven impulses to systematic organized crime drives to insatiable tyrant dictatorships.. While on the other hand, the ultimate adversary of this, is the battle of ideologies of the philosophy of good against bad.. Righteousness against evil.. Nonviolence against violence.. Mentally farsighted against mentally shortsighted.. Thoughtfulness against thoughtlessness.. Hope against despair.. Honesty & integrity seen as great & essential against the over-the-fence consideration of it as naivety..

Indeed, the world is getting far better (in crime statistic improvements among others) compared to its past.. But can the current momentum of improvement be significantly increased and further expand the battle boundaries towards mental farsightedness versus mental shortsightedness?

The masses in general are spineless and shamelessly bend to pressure.. What more politicians and public figures, who idolize number of masses above all matters.. The community of art has always been described as society's traditional forefrontier of experimental progress.. But then they're still hopelessly enslaved to mammon and still need to appease the 'market' of masses else no point of having it as a livelihood..

What's the conclusion? Is there a one-fit-all strategy solution? Seems unlikely.. But if keep bearing in mind the overall clarity of the concept of the nature of this war upon differences, then it even may lead battles towards continual unexpected breakthrough strategies and impromptu idea solutions..

What's the real purpose of education? In its finality.. Is it pragmatism or idealism? (there's ideal pragmatism that still in the boundaries of idealism) is it attrition between mental shortsightedness and mental farsightedness? (basically being mentally farsighted should mean also already having all the knowledge of shortsightedness, unlike physical-farsightedness web definition of incapability to see near things)..

Seems this shortsightedness and farsightedness is turning into an important spottable discerning-identifying trait.. And turns out there has been no strong improvement in mass-population scale in that area since human's downfall..  The appearance of this mental shortsightedness is seemingly harmless on the surface due to it's lack and absence of conscious-intention to assault or even resist farsightedness.. Unlike farsightedness' deliberate awareness of shortsightedness.. Just discovered-discern this at moment of writing.. So perhaps farsightedness is supposedly more favorably and better strategically positioned? That's something to further dwell upon later I guess.. Is there training or education that definitely battles mental shortsightedness and further promotes and cultivates mental farsightedness? I hope someone can formulate that out and incorporate that into the general scheme of education..

Mental shortsightedness symptoms are abilities to stop thinking beyond the super-immediate.. Mental farsightedness signs are being eternally thinking or being continually thoughtful whether upon immediate or beyond matters.. 

Are all these basically about (formed) habits, where change and improvements simply involve breaking and building new habits? That's something to ponder.. Some say breaking some habits are totally impossible while others claim the otherwise.. Well..
