Have you ever heard the phrase “near-enemy” used before? No? Well, a near-enemy is when two things look very similar but are intrinsically different. I first read the phrase in a Louise Penny book, where she wrote about a woman who appeared compassionate and caring, but in fact wanted others to be totally helpless so they would need her. The woman seemed to have good intentions, but she was, in fact, hurting others so that she could receive gratitude from them. A near-enemy appears to be one…

seeking to gain an upper hand in warfare. Of course the book I am talking about is Sun Tzu’s Art of War. 孫子兵法 is (supposedly) written by a strategist Sun Tzu, to teach the world of effective and time efficient military strategies during warfare.

“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win”(Tzu). Warriors that win first and then go to war spend months, maybe years, preparing for war. John Perry from the novel Old Man’s War by John Scalzi and Ender Wiggin from the novel Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card both exemplify this prepare first mentality, which comes out in their battles. Perry practices patience before he attacks the Rraey by studying how to kill them, then uses…
