conquering enemies

"To conquer the enemy without resorting to war is the most desirable. The highest form of generalship is to fight the enemy by strategy." Ancient Chinese Warlord.......

....but he was a warlord so he obviously didn't practice what he preached!!!

Work in progress so more photos will be added.

I did the comment below about Sun Tzu and realized that I forgot to comment on your photos! I love them! They are truly original. Your use of color and shape are magnificent. I simply keep looking at them. Please add many, many more.

The quote is from Sun Tzu, an ancient Chinese general. Unfortunately, what he meant was that, if possible, an army should surround a populace, destroy its food supply, and starve it to death... completely. The result to Sun Tzu was perfect: His enemy is exterminated and he has not lost any soldiers. He DID practice what he preached. Thousands upon untold thousands of rebellious chinese villagers were starved to death at the hands of Sun Tzu and his "most desirable" form of war.

Adapted from a poem by Lao-tzu
" Peaceful warriors have the patience to wait until the mud settles and the waters clear. They remain unmoving until the right time, so the right action arises by itself. They do not seek fulfillment, but wait with open arms to welcome all things. Peaceful warriors have three great treasures; Simplicity in actions and in thoughts, they return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, they live in harmony with the way things are. Compassionate toward themselves, they make peace with the world."
