Life Lessons From Warthunder | Positional Warfare

Today while taking a shower, I was thinking about possible strategies and tactics that be could used in Warthunder. For those of you who know nothing about Warthunder, it's a multiplayer online game dedicated to World War II military aviation, armored vehicles, and fleets. As I thought, it suddenly struck how similar and applicable my strategies were to life.

Warthunder revolves around positional warfare. You can be the best shot, know the opponents weaknesses, and have superior weaponry, but if the enemy has a better angle you will lose nine times out of ten. When engaging an opponent, you should always place yourself in a position that will maximize your strengths and put the enemy at a disadvantage. Allowing
yourself to take a bad position only makes it easier for the adversary to destroy you. This works the same way in every day life. You should always be mindful of where you are and what you are doing.
Constantly we learn and are reminded about how Satans one sole desire is for all men to be miserable like unto himself. We learn about his ways and methods of temptation. Outfitting yourself with this knowledge is comparable to having superior weaponry, being the best shot, and knowing your opponents weaknesses. While this knowledge is important, if you're exposing yourself to unrighteous things and placing yourself in dangerous positions, the amount you know about Satan doesn't really matter. Of course, the difference between right and wrong isn't always black and white and sometimes it's quite hard to differentiate. Fortunately, we have been given the Spirit to help us see the evil behind the smiling eyes. Three Days Grace does a wonderful job of explaining this:

If you can’t stand the way this place is

Take yourself to higher places

Geographically Divided, But Spiritually United

For this post I decided to write something instead of my normal video because my last vlog took a great deal out of me and I'm really not feeling up to making another. So this will have to do.
The topic I chose for this post is friends because I have never yet talked about it on my blog and I think it's time for that to change.
As almost everyone would tell you, friends are really important and play a significant role in any persons life. I can defiantly say the same, but it wasn't always that way. At one point, I totally closed myself towards people and spent the majority of my time alone for months. From that experience I learned that being alone is awful and that true happiness takes more than just yourself. Spending time with someone that makes you truly happy is always the best way to be.

Since then, I have made many wonderful friends and have often wondered about the chemistry behind it all.
Recently I've heard quite a few people say that knowing someone online "Doesn't count as a true friendship." That the only 100% legitimate friendship can be achieved in person. This argument has been on my mind many, many times since I began an online education, and I can see why a person would say that. Good friends usually know each other well enough that the other person feels like a second identity. I know from rather disappointing experience that developing a friendship that close is extremely difficult online. Another point would be that "true friends" frequently talk and interact with one other on a daily basis. As much as I would like to hang out with my online friends as often as that, it simply cannot be done.
With these limitations, and the many others that ominously loom ahead, are they enough to make that friendship any less real? This has lead me to wonder what conditions must exist for a friendship to thrive?
My answer is that only one condition is necessary. For there to be love. Mutually caring for one another is sufficient and nothing more. If each individual possesses love, it creates an unbreakable spiritual connection that cannot be severed.
To conclude, I would like to share this quote by President Uchtdorf in which he describes this perfectly.

"Geographically we are separated, but spiritually we are united."
