War is an absolute conflict. It is all out, no holds barred, must win or be destroyed kind of thing. I studied martial arts, and learned how to disarm people who had guns or knives, or how to strike deadly blows, but I seriously doubt there will ever be a circumstance where I would have to employ them. I am including my interpretations of The Art of War . And after each of my summaries, I include a translation of the original text.
Every person can get their own lessons from life and literature.
