Godlike & Attila
Attila, I’ve been thinking about the true cost of victory. How do you weigh the spoils against the lives you take?
Victory is the price we all pay for a cause. If the cost is too great for the win, we retreat. If the gain serves the people, the sacrifice is justified. I weigh it by the ends we seek, not by the wounds that appear.
You talk of ends, but a true leader sees how far the price stretches and whether the people can bear it in the long run.
