According to Sun-zi's military treatise,
To fight and conquer the mortal enemy
In all battles is not supreme excellence --
Supreme excellence consists of breaking
The enemy's resistance without fighting.
All those who possess excellent qualities
And bring them to the state of flawlessness
Are still far away from sagely minded men
Who are able to do (or not to do) the job
Without resorting to their skills and qualities,
Skipping the stage of perfection at high noon.
This is what we term Transcendentality,
The state of integrity and indiscriminating
Between the superfine and off-quality,
In which one becomes oneself the whole.
To be the whole is to realize one's weaknesses
As the advantages to proceed with no fear.
