My master told me. "To love your enemies, if you found one day you don't have any ememy, it may be :
1. You are a very small potato, you don't have any conflict of anyone in the world. Check if you really that small.
2. You are too wishy-washy/all time Yes-man. Check if you have wasting too much time in pleasing all people.
3. You are DEAD
Check if you are still breathing.
I learn this in my heart and after some 30 yrs of practicing, I would add one footnote.
Time is short, so no cheap stakes. In terms of enemy, make some noble one.
Just my HKD 2 cents
Enjoy Forum surfing.

Very Good P.
I like Sun's ideas that you beat your enemies before they even realise that there is a war on. To outmanoeuvre your opponent so they have no option but to surrender without a shot being fired is the true art of warfare and shows the genius of the Commander.
When I was five my big brother and sister told me that one in every three people in the world were Chinese. They said that I could see that neither of them were Chinese so it must be me. I believed I was Chinese for nearly a year thanks to them.
Having read so much ancient Taoist Military Theory - I'm probably closer than they realise
As for enemies, only the small potatoes consider me an enemy - the rest don't even know that the war has started
Very nice gentlemen.
imdog, I need to thank you for a few smiles generated by your post. First, the content/philosophy is great. Second, I wondered what World of Warcraft had to do with it (knowing that it didn't). Third, I hadn't known that you were a vampire hunter.
The above may go over your head, and that is OK, as you have bravely played with a language that most never master, even when born into it. (me among them who have failed)
GraysGhost, I have had players use Sun Tzu against me in miniatures games. It works even in a table top setting.
