Keep your emotions in check from "summary" of The 33 Strategies of War by Robert Greene,Joost Elffers
Emotions are a dangerous thing in war. They can cloud your judgment, make you act irrationally, and cause you to lose sight of your ultimate goal. Keeping your emotions in check is crucial if you want to succeed in any conflict. When you let your emotions get the best of you, you become vulnerable to manipulation and deception. Your enemies can use your anger, fear, or sadness against you, leading you down a path of destruction. By maintaining control over your emotions, you can stay focused on the bigger picture and make decisions based on logic and reason rather than impulse. This requires self-awareness and discipline. You must be able to recognize when your emotions are starting to take over and take steps to calm yourself down before you make any hasty decisions. One way to keep your emotions in check is to cultivate a sense of detachment. By distancing yourself from the situation emotionally, you can see things more clearly and make better choices. This doesn't mean becoming cold or indifferent; it simply means not allowing your feelings to dictate your actions. Another important aspect of keeping your emotions in check is mastering the art of patience. War is a long and drawn-out process, and it's easy to become frustrated or impatient when things don't go your way. However, succumbing to these emotions can lead to costly mistakes. By staying calm and composed, you can wait for the right moment to strike and avoid unnecessary risks.- It can be tempting to let your emotions run wild. However, by keeping your emotions in check, you can maintain your focus, make sound decisions, and ultimately emerge victorious. Emotions have their place, but in war, they must be kept under control to ensure success.
