If you want to morally destroy the enemy’s battalion, just sympathise with enemy troops & they’ll perish.
I think sympathisers do more damage to you than your actual sufferings.
Sympathisers make you soft & weak, unknowingly.
One day you’re hustling hard. Someone says they feel sorry for you. You start realising damn I’m pushing too hard. I should start enjoying. After all, what’s life about? You start taking it easy. Gradually lose momentum & motivation. Perish.
When on missions, you don’t need sympathies.
Keep pushing.
