| Strength's Warning Signs. The human living state is soft and pliable. The dead state is hard and rigid. The alive state of the ten-thousand natural kinds --grass and wood--is soft and crisp. Their dead state is hard and dry. So things that are hard and rigid accompany death. Things that are soft and pliable accompany life. So if troops are strong they do not triumph. When wood is stiff, it makes weapons. When strength is great, its place is down. When soft and pliable, its place is up. |
