Seems like there are three scenarios here;

1. Fight and die on the hill.

2. Fight and win on the hill.

3. Do not fight at all.

 

I feel like I'm hopping back and forth across these scenarios all the time in life.

 

Scenario 1, even though resulting in death, might feel like a win, if you're fighting on principles.

 

Scenario 2 sounds good, but at what cost?

 

Scenario 3 might be the best decision, but when and why?

 

Too many times in any one of these scenarios is probably not good.

Nicely done. I think the person we're usually fighting is ourselves, in all these scenarios. Often we fight out of pride. However, in retrospect, we are often most proud of ourselves for just walking away. It's very hard to remember that second part, when moved to pursue the first one.
