Many modern translations of the Art of War are misappropriated and forcefully applied to business or politics.

Sun Tzu was a Taoist, who believed in simplicity, spontaneity, equilibrium, and so forth. He believed in flowing effortlessly like water finding is level and weathering a stronger enemy.

His writing exemplified a philosophy and a spirit of living as he applied them to war.
