It's amazing that the ultimate authority on fighting and victory lived more than 2500 years ago. In his work the Art of War, Sun Tzu explains the 'supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.'
In today's complicated modern world, it seems this philosophy continues to reign while much of the so-called civilized world is being subdued without a shot being fired. Sun Tzu also said, 'know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster.'
Perhaps in our social media dominated technological society we should spend a bit more time getting to really know ourselves so that we too might defeat our enemy without fighting. For further insight please read: The Art of Fighting Without Fighting.
