1 side/team/person overwhelming victory
Sounds great, something everyone wants, right?

Be careful of seeking that type of victory in life, is this really what’s called for? All the time?

Do you need decisive victory over your M, your kids, your family, co-workers? Does that do more harm than good?

Rather, Long term strategic thinking, find the Win Win.
How can win without least amount of negative impact? What minimum force can just to win?

CoT: Absolute freedom is a curse in disguise. Some seek freedom from obligations and responsibilities only to find their lives empty and worthless. True freedom comes from becoming more obligated and responsible—things that actually take away from our free time. “Freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose – and commit myself to – what is best for me.” —Paulo Coelho
