Chapter 7: Don't Forget To Play
There is a very old folk story that involves a battle between a man & a giant bear. The bear was able to read the man's thought's & could therefore predict every move & every strike before the man could ever even make a move. This became very troublesome for the man who in a battle with a giant bear would inevitably die if he did not conquer the bear.
But how can he win against a psychic opponent? He ended up finding out that the only way to land a blow against the beast was to do so by total accident. In knowing this & learning from the man in the story we can conclude that when we are faced with people who can easily predict our every move before we make it we must inspire spontaneous "accidents" in order to win. How can we create an accident on purpose though? We do so by not trying to but at the same time intending to only spontaneously without thinking about it before it happens. The inner innocence of a child makes a great example. When a child is simply playing in the house they didn't mean to knock mom's vase off the shelf. They were likely not even paying attention to the vase, being lost in imagination land. It was an honest mistake. Now given the example that I have provided remember that through innocent & playful acts there can come destruction & mischief. It opens up a weak spot in the chainmail of our enemy's allowing for a miss opportunity to strike a devastating blow against our enemy's unexpectedly & unintentionally.
