The Art of Flaw

                              To date, I have been unable to formulate a Zen Response to the Wars in Ukraine and Israel/Gaza/West Bank/Lebanon  [ Wars in general for that matter]  and Sun Tzu's The Art of War is, for the most part, beyond the scope of the Population's Intellectual Grasp:  I think because "Art" is something of a Romantically Idealized Conceit which reduces The Art of War to imaginative, albeit Violent, 'Dysposition'* .   The Characterizations of Sun Tzu are for the War Minded, Soldiers and their Commanders, NOT for the so-called "General Public" anyway, I mean, there's THAT .  

              Here it is where the Tao Te Ching IS extremely Valuable as a FOUNDATION of Perspective, even though, it is Lao Tzu's IDEALIZED Opinion of Political >>> Operations .   Still, the General Public CANNOT  be  expected  to  delve  into  flagrantly esoteric  Doctrines  in  order  to  gain  a  Cosmic Consciousness that would afford {skeptical} Understanding, and besides, "Too much Understanding CANNOT help you".   On the Street and in the gutter this :  "Who gives a fucking shit ?"   

              Still .................................. .
