When your thought is preoccupied by a certain fact, or an interpretation, you must activate strategy to assist you, as only it, is capable to prepare you for upcoming difficulties.
So if you find the current situation difficult, and you are wondering if there are prospects for the future, then you should research the past, even if it is quite distant, in order to see how we fought against a problem that was much more intense than the current situation.
Then you will perceive the role of high strategy, which doesn’t address problems locally, but the problems in general and in depth of time.
And if an arc concerns you, then you must remember, it’s to no avail if it doesn’t obtain arrows, because in that case, it’s static, and not dynamic.
Additionally, an arc is unable to encircle you, due to its structure.
If you also take in to account, that centuries ago, not only we confronted rationally and efficiently through strategy, bows, and arrows, and encirclement, and following that, we recaptured our territories, liberating our people, even those in the islands, then you will comprehend that things are different to what you assume they are, and that we must handle simpler data, having greater potentials.
For this reason, the difference that makes the difference is moral.
However, if that has obtained integrated knowledge of the past, and techniques of the future instead of being alone, it will be enhanced and without phobias it will even face the same situations strategically. Therefore remember, that strategy is an innovation of Hellenism in order for it to defeat more powerful enemies than itself.
