In the multifaceted arena of creation and utilization; Balance is our compass and our scale.
It’s a battle between construction and acquisition, between toiling the soil and reaping the fruits of others’ labor.
It is not a mere juxtaposition of action and consequence but a delicate equilibrium of effort and reward, the intertwining strands of yin and yang in the tapestry of progress.
The General, holding the scales of equilibrium and the compass of discernment, reflects upon the dichotomy of creating versus borrowing.
It’s about calculating the efforts and the yields, about discerning whether to forge the sword or to wield an existing one.
