The application of mental energy in a cautious, wily and diplomatic way in order to gain the end desire. But one cannot be sure of the rightness or moral integrity of the goal and the mind can be cold and manipulative. Life may require us to develop attributes like politicians and priests have, even if our nature dislikes such obvious cunning. When we lose our ambition through weakness of will we fight difficulties, compromise and betrayal. Intentional or otherwise, we are restless and destructive. All this is about to take a risk in order to get out of a boring situation, regardless of the consequences.
