The term "Pyrrhic victory" comes from the ancient king Pyrrhus, who defeated a Roman army but lost so many men in the process that he quipped, "One more such victory and I shall be lost."
There are easy victories all around for the taking, many in the form of taking advantage of others by stealing from, obstructing, or demeaning them. At what cost these small victories?
We reap what we sow. We win the long run by sowing patience and love. It will return. The conquest of our own selves is the best kind of win.
