Wooow! @saramiller ! Very impressive and unique ! You passed through four aspects on this post - History, science philosophy and war.

What I liked the most is the following parts that you could depict the aspects and the aim of the post in three paragraphs that emerged this way in my review.

War or Fight

The fact is that there will always be something you don't like happening in life. Your mind, body, and soul ARE under constant attack from forces seen and unseen - hello, viruses & GMOs & indoctrination & HAARP & taxation & assholes & on & on & on.

Attempt or Defence

You do whatever you want about it - you can get pissed, judge it, fear it, resist it. You can try to control it if you want, or you can withdraw and cower from life...but in doing so, you will have already lost the battle.

Solution, Victory or Yoga

OR you can meet the conflict head on with a focused mind, peace in your heart, poise in your body, and honor in your soul to vanquish all enemies.

That was brilliant!
I totally agree with you that Yoga is very important in our life and much more in our contemprary world of many kinds of wars.

Without forgetting, the photo is superb!!

Thank you for sharing all this with us!.
