Chapter 75

Index
In life, humans are soft and weak; in death, they become hard and strong.
All living things, plants and trees, are soft and fragile in life; in death, they become withered and dry.
Therefore, the rigid and strong are disciples of death, while the soft and weak are disciples of life.
Thus, when an army is strong, it does not prevail; when a tree is strong, it breaks.
The strong and great are positioned below, the soft and weak are positioned above.
