The Art of...

Some people are just rather bad at handling situations. Much as one may feel that one's pride is at stake, one should know when one must swallow that pride in favour of survival. As the Art of War mentions, a weak force cannot possibly take on a superior force head-on. To do so is to invite disaster. One will have quite a time trying to go up against an established system merely on willpower and little else. It takes extensive planning, research and yet more field testing before a technique can be applied in any moderately effective manner. There is an art to life, and some would do well to learn that.
