Can you accept being a loser in this world?

About the illusion and naïveté of the STO, there is something about the path of the STS.  The STS is about the warrior and winning its way by conquering and enslaving. But if we follow how this path works, the STS can only gain constantly by 'winning' constantly over others, so the vision where all STS conquer the naive STO and then can establish a world of freedom doesn't concur with a pure STS path where winning is necessary over anybody, STO or STS, so unity with other STS to establish a new world just cannot happen The concept of unity with another one just doesn't exist,   and so we arrive at the complete solitude of the STS having conquered all, and nothing is left to organize a new world except for the one left ?

I disagree about the warrior being a part of STS path. The warrior as an archetype encompasses both polarities. STS is much less about being a warrior than it is in commanding the warriors to do your bidding. Those who consider themselves the elite do not play their games and have their contest with plebeians.

It is ironic that so many people think that force can be used to make the world better. What happens after every "war on" in this world? War on drugs makes more drugs than ever, war on poverty makes more poverty, war on crime makes more crime, etc.

Many people think that if only they could be in charge of the world they could end poverty, end suffering, end crime, etc. If everyone would just do as they say and not question them. Hundreds of millions of people died in the 20th century because people thought they could force the world to fit their view, and all those who stood in the way of that were slaughtered.

The STS path is not one which teaches the plebeians that the world is cruel and they must compete to survive and dominate their fellows so they eat while others starve. It teaches the plebeians that they need to look to the elite to take care of them and they will be kept safe from harm if they just do as they are told. Just bend the knee to the elite and they will make sure you are taken care of.

The contests are reserved for between those who are elite and wield the staff and rod.
