To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not
the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.–
Sun Tzu
To ever have peace of mind to any degree at all, I had
to accept that I must give up fighting anything and anybody.
Acceptance of that fact is a daily reconsider unto
recommitment for me. Because it all starts with making peace with my own
fear thoughts…fear, I believe, starts in my reasoning mind, my ego.
The key in giving up fighting all things and all people is the
word "fighting"…there must be something or someone to push against to have a
fight.
To me, Sun Tzu’s “subdue the enemy” points me away from my
reasoning mind (hoping for an ego victory) toward the realization that the
enemy is me and thee both together.
Turning to the One same power in that single enemy opens
both of us to the great power of love…self is overcome, the enemy is subdued.
We both walk away winners.
Thank You.
