00:00:01.641 --> 00:00:14.096
The difference between winning and losing and your success in life and in the upcoming day of judgment will greatly depend on your ability to master polemology.

00:00:14.096 --> 00:00:17.908
What is polemology, you ask?

00:00:17.908 --> 00:00:35.140
Well, I'm happy that you've asked, because polemology is the study of wars, because polemology is a study of wars, specifically wars, great wars, and why people or countries or nations win wars and why others will lose wars.

00:00:35.140 --> 00:00:45.549
Study of polemology is one of the main topics in classes in the great naval academies and schools of army around the world.

00:00:45.549 --> 00:00:52.453
To give an example, polemology will be well, the North beat the South in the Civil War.

00:00:52.640 --> 00:01:09.230
The Union, because of well, we had Ulysses S Grant and Abraham Lincoln, along with much more manpower and industrial power in the South, couldn't exactly fund themselves or secure support from other nations.

00:01:09.230 --> 00:01:27.965
Polemology and in our lives, make no mistake about it, yes, every day and every struggle with the Yates-Sahara is a world war and it's you up against a formidable foe.

00:01:27.965 --> 00:01:42.307
And we are told by the Mesilas Yisharim that if you would like to be successful in life, well then you must look back and study your previous wars, you must ba'ul cheshbin, come into a self-evaluation.

00:01:42.307 --> 00:01:53.006
You know, if I really wouldn't have been so ignorant or stuffed my belly to the brim that night.

00:01:53.006 --> 00:01:57.766
I probably wouldn't have sinned With pole homology.

00:01:57.766 --> 00:02:05.441
You can then say well, if we would have been able to sidestep the union blockade, naval blockade the South would have won.

00:02:05.441 --> 00:02:05.536
They would have won the Civil War.

00:02:05.536 --> 00:02:07.685
And who knows what would have been able to sidestep the union blockade, naval blockade the South would have won, they would have won the Civil War.

00:02:07.685 --> 00:02:08.769
And who knows what would have happened.

00:02:09.340 --> 00:02:18.871
And you can use that same idea in your life that last year it didn't go as planned because I probably shouldn't have been there or done that.

00:02:18.871 --> 00:02:31.584
And even more importantly and very much overseen, and even more importantly and very much overseen is how much you can grow by.

00:02:31.584 --> 00:02:32.387
Where did I win and where did I succeed?

00:02:32.387 --> 00:02:36.598
Last year I had a great year in my Shalom Bias.

00:02:36.598 --> 00:02:40.894
Why did that happen?

00:02:40.894 --> 00:02:50.906
Study that successful war, if you will, and like that, you'll play right into the words of that.

00:02:50.906 --> 00:02:52.872
You go out into war like Hashem says.

00:02:52.872 --> 00:02:56.405
The Torah is talking to the Yetzirah, because life is a war.

00:02:56.405 --> 00:03:08.912
But when you master polemology, you end up learning from your past mistakes and your triumphs, and that will help you to succeed in all of your future wars.
