“Softness conquers hardness” Principle of Tai Chi
This quote may seem bizarre when you first hear it, but it makes a lot of sense. Say you’re in a conflict; trying to resolve it with words (the soft approach) rather than fighting (the hard approach) works better to solve the problem. In fact, just recently Barak Obama won the Nobel peace prize for getting countries at war to talk to each other instead of just shooting at one another. Even though almost everyone has been told that talking things out works best (to a point that is almost annoying) it really is the best. Keeping all of this in mind can really help you if trouble does arise.
Personally, when I hear this quote I think of Rock, Paper, Scissors. The soft, flimsy paper beats the sheer, hard might of rock every time. Something else that pops into my mind is the idiom “You’ll catch more flies with honey, than with vinegar.” I always find there is a hidden meaning to many sayings; like in the one right above, it’s not just a tip for catching flies, but a way to be a better person. The quote at the top is a bit more direct but I still believe there is a deeper meaning, can you figure it out?
