We boast of miracles that modern medicine made possible but these miracles require victims of predicaments to be cured in the first place. It would be better if these conditions do not happen at all.
As we discussed earlier, healthcare is warfare, and based on deception, it is the best if we do not need to mobilise its forces. Particularly any invasive interventions are to be avoided or minimised where possible.
Being healthy without any professional care is, no matter how unachievable it would be, the ideal. Then Sun Tzu also told us, the way to get closer to this ideal.
Sun Tzu said, "The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy."
As though Sun Tzu foresaw recent emphasis on preventative medicine. The better you prepared to fight, the less you actually forced to. You would ultimately be able to defeat or subdue the enemy without any fighting.
Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum - If you wish for peace, prepare for war. But it is not about piling up weapons but about elaborating strategies.
The English texts of Sun Tzu's 'The Art of War' are from The Project Gutenberg eBook, The Art of War, by Sun Zu
