68. Compassion

Compassion is the finest weapon and best defence.

If you would establish harmony,

Compassion must surround you like a fortress.

Furthermore,

A good soldier does not inspire fear;

A good fighter does not display aggression;

A good conqueror does not favor battle;

A good leader does not exercise force.

This is the value of commonality;

This is how to win the cooperation of others;

This to how to build the same harmony that is in nature.
