A man is born gentle and weak .
At his demise he is hard and stiff.
Green plants are very tender and filled with sap.
At their end of existence they are withered and dry.
Therefore the stiff and unbending is the disciple of he afterlife.
The gentle and yielding is an adept of eternal life.
Thus an army without any flexibility never wins a war.
A tree that is unbending is easily broken.
The hard and strong will not stand.
But the soft and feeble will overcome.
LAO TSU.
