The ability to disrupt or cancel the actions and intentions of your opposition through surprise is directly associated with the use of security. These are separated as individual elements because of the multitude ways they interact with others, but are also linked as counters to each other. The offense presented by surprise has a great potential because there is less defenses presented to stop such. These due to easing or relaxing security as resources are put into place elsewhere. Too tight of a security use too many resources and diverts attention from restricting the oppositions movements. Intentions are sometimes hard to understand, but the bases of our thoughts become actions. What we decide to do about the actions of others becomes the destiny of our lives; our destiny develops from these actions in life. Being aware of the opposition(s) requires a constant input from trusted information sources and evaluation of these sources as well.
The concept of surprise derives from the thought of our opposition taking actions we do not expect. Even establishing another as competition we do not need to see them as oppositions, this determination is reserved for those capable of threatening or doing harm. But if we do not see the harm it is because we misunderstand something, technology has changed, or deceptive intentions have abounded. Thus our opposition has gained an advantage; resources once thought to be important are no longer restricting this opposition. The needs to gain such resources must be evaluated, along with the assessments used to determine our opposition’s capabilities.
Basing our decisions on facts presented, allows the best decisions to be used at the right times. Deception in this information structure is what negates the ability to make good decisions, our defenses are down then. We need and use resources to build our lives and protect with but all resources have cost associated with them. To extend our abilities we need to maximize the use of resources, this requires understanding of the situations and oppositions these resources are meant to be used for. We can not over extend our resources and supply lines, nor can we keep them too tightly packed. The balance between use and safety must be keep, this refers to there mobility. Facts then are what we see, understand and sense, but where they come from is another matter.
Surprise comes from all directions, newer technology, discovery of resources, creative ideas, even inside our lines. The most common means of surprise is to assume someone is friendly when in reality they are not, thus this one “stabs you in the back striking from shadows.” But there is also the surprise of finding out your information sources are in reality under opposition’s control. There is of course another, many different goals exist as individuals and entities want different things. Therefore while one is taking action, others are planning how to gain from the actions others take. This means they are surviving base on what others are doing, but taking the credit for this as if they did it themselves. Only by seeking the truth can one see past the deception, this takes the willingness to look beyond the normal.
Security then must be present; preventing those who should not see things or understand what is happening from gain this information. This is a necessity of personal nature, a limit we have put on what we will allow to be known of us and our intentions. Our private thoughts and desires are expected to be just that private, but to curious minds they become interested in finding such. The reasons for this vary but the results of breaking through security limits can have dangerous results. By the same measure it should be expected if you are looking into opposition’s actions that what is secure would be protected.
Constantly gaining information allows updates and new evaluations to be made that keep one on track to meeting established goals. But they also allow one to see such goals may no longer matter, the situation having changed. Trust then in who is telling and giving this information is of vital importance. It must be established before any such information can be used or considered as part of plans. It is ethics we use to determine trust and gain information, these to build our thoughts than take action. The actions build our lives and give us a destiny. But that destiny can be seen, even predicted based on the ethics we started with and have kept to along the way.
