Re: Tactics and Strategies from The Art of War

To make the point, your guide should be kept to yourself
The secrets to the books are not in what Sun Tzu says but what he doesn't say. What he allows you to understand for yourself.

Keep in mind that Sun Tzu did publish his work. I do believe what you say though. I included how I interpreted the passages but put the passage in the guide incase there are disagreements from the reader and so that the reader might interpret the passage differently. I was strongly considering taking out the passages in the update but I think you've made me realize the importance of them over my interpretations. Thanks for the insight.

You effort would not be wasted if you spent some time understanding the philospohy behind this book. Forgetting what you think you know of it.

Also, I'm a bit unclear on this. I'm not quite sure of what you mean by understanding the philosophy of it. Is that what I am not already doing? Let me know what you mean, I'm sure it will add to my comprehension of the book.
