"Use order to await chaos. Use stillness to await clamor. This is ordering the heart-mind. Use the near to await the far. Use ease to await labor. Use fullness to await hunger. This is ordering Strength."
As Sun Tzu has said, it is not necessary to exercise your strength at all times. Instead, rest in your sufficiency.

Hmm...I keep hearing about this book.

Have you ever read The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius? (Forgive me if I spelt that wrong ><) It's very good.

OOoo...I forgot that we all went on a reading frenzy...

it really *is* a good book too. Had to re-read it because I was just like "...say what?" But it was good.

Unfortunately my mom freaked out when she found out I had our copy of it. I can't blame her though, the thing is *old* man...

So old there isn't a printing date on it at all. Anywhere. I've looked it over many many times...I should get it appraised by someone...is that even possible? Hm...

I have a newer copy of it, but it's still good. I haven't finished it yet, since I read it when I'm relaxing away from the comp...but I love it so far.

*grin* lol. Lucky you...newer copy. I'm going to have to get me one.

I'm re-reading it yet again by the way, as I just do *not* understand some parts. *sigh* Gaaargh...

Oy - don't feel bad. I doubt ANYONE can read that book without having to do at least *some* research along the way. I know I'm still working on it, myself. (Of course, that could also be because of the fact that I tend to read 3 or 4 books at once...*snicker*)

*taps Wufei on the shoulder*
Oi! You spoke of Eastern philosophy and literature - what do you think of Mahabarata and Ramayana? I like them. *grin*
