cathal Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 IMHO the circulating life energy that in Chinese/Japanese philosophy is thought to be inherent in all things; in traditional medicine the balance of negative and positive forms in the body is believed to be essential for good health. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
