...[T]he art of life is more like navigation than warfare, for what is important is to understand the winds, the tides, the currents, the seasons, and the principles of growth and decay, so that one's actions may use them and not fight them.

Tao: The Watercourse Way, Alan Watts with Al Chung-liang Huang
