Alive, the body is soft and mobile:
Dead, it becomes hard and static.
All nature is fertile and flexible when alive,
becoming dry and rigid in death.
Whatever is dry and rigid brings tends toward death:
Whatever is fertile and flexible springs with life.
Thus, an inflexible army cannot win.
A large hardwood will be harvested.
A dominant personality doesn't always come out on top,
and may find a gentler more adaptable person prefered.
