An alternate to the wisdom of Sun Tzu in The Art of War
I was reading Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" tonight.

Courtney, my 3 year old, climbed on my back as I lay on the bed.

She wanted to play.

I began to become irritated.

Reflecting upon what 3 year olds know about reading or even care about "The Art of War", I closed the book.

I thought a playful encounter with my 3 year old far more enriching,
Than all the wisdom of Sun Tzu.
