I have spoken in another place that sometimes we were fighting other peoples battles, and that any battle must be prevailed by the nobility. If he is correct to fight a battle, is duty to do it. The battles occur of many forms. Can be from helping somebody to load a heavy furniture, to letting eat something that we like if she does damage to us. Unfortunately throughout our life we were with situations in that some people solicit to us that we do its work to them. To give aid is correct whenever it does not change to us tree from firewood. For example, an employee with good disposition requests to me suddenly that he helps to remove a process him that was obstructed to him, but thinks that I am going to him to make its work, to not only give a direction him.

Another case beside the point frequents is the disagreeable case that somebody deals with to think by us. Frequently the parents try to impose a solution that stops they is the best one. To carry out that solution sometimes is practical, but sometimes no. For that reason I give as much importance him to the fact of living single, since until simplest it is called on to me to fight only the battles that I choose. When it marries to me, there will be no internal battles, by the simple fact that the two people we will have such I interest and if it is not thus, one is to reach an agreement.

But sometimes to try to reach an agreement is stupid. Sometimes there is nothing no to win, and not even he is correct to do it. Speaking of dianetic terms, each battle is a " game ", and is games that are fixed or where single there is an acceptable solution, in addition that the game does not have anything to offer. All the previous ones are situations of " nongame ", and to play them single goes in damage of the players.

In the work strange battles usually occur, and some people try to agree to and to make alliances instead of working. Gurdjieff speaks repeatedly of now and right here, and that is what we must make when fighting battles, to limit us that reason why we are fighting. When one goes from hunting to the forest, one worries to return with a hunting piece, but if we are going to buy a standard car and possibly left with one automatic one we fought the battles of the salesman that took care of to us, and not them ours. That is not worthy nor honorable. Simply is stupid.

A quite interesting book that speaks on corporative battles says that a single winner fight if:

It is important to emphasize that the previous thing sees question of common sense. And it is it, but duty it influences enough. If duty it does not force to us to happen to the fight, the three previous rules are basic.

Another case frequents is that a person us of an advice thought well according to its own data, that is to say, of good will. But to trust us to another person anyone is a questionable act. The brickmaker can say to us like making bricks, but hearing advice his of as to cook is idiot. The advice must accept themselves by courtesy, but that does not mean to take them to the practice.

To fight other peoples battles single is valid when to duty demands it or when somebody asks for aid that does not take second or third intentions. If one above does not end a person seeing of our shoulder, and really that he is not pleasant. Disinterestedness by world is desapego, but if somebody requests us that we are interested in its own subjects, that are not related to the power, is requesting to us that we spend part of our life in which to anybody it benefits. The warriors DO NOT KILL the time, does not serve as anything to do show to them. Certain things can become like controlled folly, but until that it has a limit.

Another situation frequents is to find us romped in other peoples battles by social commitments or economic, but that is not advisable, and if the search of the way is correct, this is reduced of progressive way. Nevertheless this does not mean to be all along in fight. The week last me I passed it playing backgammon with a person in Internet (greetings!) and that was a healthy diversion. If a person requests to me to go to her house to help in X thing him and chat, is correct. But if they invite me to a celebration of those to take bottle... that I win?

THE CORRECT BATTLES ALWAYS ARE HEALTHY. Of badly treatments do not take control.

On the other hand, it is important to handle diverse techniques of fight, to use the same one in a battle returns to us vulnerable. And to leave others our battles fight is bad, because frequently the others want that we use its arms in the battle. When we must happen to the battle, it is necessary to use all our resources, not favorable them but to the others. That case must fight in disadvantage?

In a book they mentioned something that could be the order of a warrior:

I mentioned in a page that a Nagual does not have compassion of anything or of anybody, and that when it is forced the fight, it kills or really it leaves disabled person. For that reason the battles are until death, and for that reason the selection of the battles is so important for me.
