Security by revising and redefining ones own strength

The Master said...

Thus an army does not have fixed strategic advantages (shih) or an invariable position (hsing). To be able to take the victory by varying one's posistion according to the enemy's is called being inscrutable (shen). Thus of the five phases (wu hsing), none is the constant victor; of the four seasons, none occupies a constant position; the days are both short and long; the moon waxes and wanes.
