Sun Tzu you say? Oh grandious book that one. And how fitting to be attacked by it I must say *laughes*

"I would hazard a guess that the book was The Art of War?" Evan said as he steared his tea a bit to before takeing anuther sip.

"The one and only. Sun Tzu was a genius in his arts. War tactics have always intrigued me, even if modern day has traded up arrows and spears for rifles and bayonets."
Wolf set his cup down.

"True, but some times the more things change, the more they stay the same it seems like some times. We mearly traded the bows for guns, and the swords for bayonnets." Evan said as he was thankful that he wasn't dressed in him army uniform at the moment.

"And that mere change has given many people the thought that they can control others, depending on the quantity of how much they have at their disposal. The more they have to kill with, the more they have to be respected. It sickens me really. Sun Tzu's time amy have been more peaceful and simpler in turn, but now we are here. We must learn to cope with the situation in turn and thrive from it as much as we can"
Wolf grabbed his cup and took another sip.

*chuckles*

Army is army. Violence is violence. The ultimate goal of a army is to use force and violence to achieve a goal. I don't believe in a peaceful army. It's a lie. They merely wait and prepare themselves for the next war or revolt.

Too true. And I, myself, am a great appreciator of antique warfare. I think with the evolution of weponry, battles lose their glamour. You don't hear of those huge armies standing face to face these days anymore.

"War is war and paranoia has evolved into fear and greed. That is the sad reality of the situation at hand."

Sad reality indeed, my friend. It is good a few times and places of peace exist.

"We should enjoy it while it lasts. Political tensions between nations are beginning to heat up and we should never be sure of what might happen at the turn of the years. For now, let us drop the wartime dread and enjoy this peaceful, serene feeling and enjoy the tea."

*empties my cup* and such a nice tea, too *chuckles*

Nice is a rather suggestive concept. I bet that if we where under a blockade even the worst blend would seem great after few months.

Rank: Mr. Fabulous Joined: 18 Feb 2010 Posts: 564

Oh yes, most definitely. Thankfully there are no blockades in sight *smiles to Catherine*

"Well then, i'd best be on my way. I have taken up enough of you're time."

Wolf stood up from the table and grabbed his book.

If so is your wish. Until we meet again, Mr. Strider.
