If you can loop faster than your opponent ...
I always feel that Rabbits are not quite the smart kind of animals. They spent most of their waking hours nibbling on grasses and hiding in their smelly little burrow. In most documentaries, almost any encounter between the rabbit and other creatures or predators, will normally see the helpless rabbits ending up as the losers. One can almost expect and predict the typical documentary scene of the rabbits, fleeing away at high speed, at the slightest disturbance of the scene by a probable predator, and sometimes losing their life after a short chase. I mean rabbits seems to be born losers. They look cartoonish and don't even utter a single roar, growl, or at least, a meow, to protray or at least, try to disguise themselves as a mean creature of the wild.
However, it seems that not all rabbits will prefer to be on the receiving, and losing end. This rabbit seems to be fed-up with being a loser in a conflict relationship, and goes on the offensive. And boy, when it attacks, it really attacks. Never mind if the opponent is dangerous, and extermely venomous, seems cunning, a probable experienced veteran hunter. The cute little bunny is hell bent on raising his point and protecting its turf.
This rabbit seems to bring to us, a couple of points worth our consideration in any conflict realtionship.
It doesn't really matter if one looked stupid and passive; sterotyped to be the nice, tamed, obedient and quiet guy next door, bounded by contstraints and people's expectations to live with the invisible behaviour markers, etc, etc. It seems that the actual creature, the true self, is really powered by what goes on the inside... and most people (or in this case, creature) had their insides in a constant whirlpool of emotions, which affects and changes their perception and outlook of the current situation. In other words, in a showdown, a sparring partner may exhibit the same physical appearance, or even body language; but within the body, the mind probably is a few step ahead, and the previous state of emotions that is associated with the current physical appearance and body language, may had been refined and changed. This may appear to the spectator as some kind of a rare occasion where the person or creature seems to experience some kind of snap in their brain, and suddenly takes on another mental and emotion posture, exhibiting characteristics and capabilities that one will never think possible.
When the time comes for one to go on the offensive. Simply be dumb and just attack. Upon hitting sufficient considerations and reaching a comfortable consense within one's decision making system, why continue to worry and be burden into a endless cycle of analysing, considering, and brainstorming on the old decision again? Simply carry out the execution of the task at hand and analyse, consider, and perceive the next step. Note, the next step, and not the previous, executed step. In other words, don't worry about what was executed, and how well it fits into society's and people's perceived expectations of your previous and current step. Simply look at the situation, the target, the opponent, and react to it. React to his counterattack, analyse his train of thoughts, and extrapolate on what he will do in the next step. Then refined your position, your posture, your chain of thoughts, your energies and center of gravity, and throw your attack again. If one is above to perform the above cycle much faster than the opponent, pretty soon the opponent will be forced to react to your directed attacks, like a losing tennis player running left and right of the court just to catch the ball. One will be able to bleed the opponent dry of energies, resources, and the will to fight.
This seems to be what was happenning in the Vietnam war, and is happening in the current Iraq invasion and occupation by the US. In both situations, we see a giant constantly reacting and losing resources and enegries. Rushing around and bombing empty jungles and civilian buildings. Making mistakes as it rumbles around. Depleting the armory, treasury, and the emotions to fight. It will be just a matter of time before the towel is thrown in.
Huh, the little rabbit certainly summarises the way of the world.
