Anger may in time change to gladness vexation may be succeeded by content. But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come again into being norcan the dead ever be brought back to life. Hence the enlightened ruler is heedful, and the good general full of caution. This is the way to keep a country at peace and an army intact.
