The strategists have a saying: Rather than make the first move, it is better to wait and see. It is better to be a guest than a host. Rather than advance an inch, it is better to retreat a foot. This is called “GAINING SPACE WITHOUT MOVING”, “GOING FORWARD WITHOUT MOVING”, “TO ADVANCE WITHOUT MARCHING”; “TO ROLL UP ONE’S SLEEVES WITHOUT BARING ONE’S ARMS”; “CAPTURING THE ENEMY WITHOUT CONFRONTING HIM”. Nothing is an invisible weapon. Of Disasters, none is greater than thinking you have no rival. There is no greater misfortune than underestimating your enemy. To think you have no rival, to underestimate your enemy, is to come close to losing your treasures. Hold life to be of the highest value. The reluctant person who fights to preserve life, who feels grief and sorrow at the loss of life, is on the side of heaven and so has the assistance of heaven. Thus when weapons are raised and the opponents are fairly well matched, the victory goes to the one who feels grief, the one who knows how to yield. The victory march is as a funeral.
