Those who seek "total victory" will find it to be a very temporary phenomenon...and they will very soon find themselves confronted with a new enemy, and another after that. Total victory is a will o' the wisp, a chimera. Fools seek it. They find, in the end, their own demise, for the simple reason that their chosen way of being is to be at war, not to live in peace. When they meet their own end, they are mourned by few.
