68. Compassion
compassion is the finest weapon and best defence.
if you would establish harmony,
compassion must surround you like a fortress.
therefore,
a good soldier does not inspire fear;
a good fighter does not display aggression;
a good conqueror does not engage in battle;
a good leader does not exercise authority.
this is the value of unimportance;
this is how to win the cooperation of others;
this to how to build the same harmony that is in nature.
