i just hate it when people use it for grandstanding... i know this asshole who only read the cliff notes version and for the past year has been spouting off paraphrased tomes of wisdom that even at that level he doesnt understand...
its a wonder i continue to listen... but i need a laugh every now and then... well to be honest i need plenty of laughs, just THAT laugh every now and then...

anybody would gain something of reading it
Well well, it seems that other people on this forum have literary aspirations.
My postmodern interpretation of The Art of War is primarialy deconstructionist, that is, that Sun Tzu did not know his actual intentions while writing the work and that only through analyzing the work in the context of 20th century literary criticism are we able to delve into the true meaning of the text.
The Art of War is actually a manual for prolonging conflict rather than resolving it. For, in the postmodern worldview there can be no edified institutions that stand to promote their own version of reality, The Art of War is an attempt to establish itself as monolith of meaning, which cannot possibly exist in the realms of literature. Therefore, The Art of War places itself in the hegemony of great literature by prologing conflicts while pretending to provide a means to resolve them. As long as there are conflicts, this monolithic manual of patriarchial repression must be consulted to continue the cycle. We must break ourselves free by reading meanings into the Art of War that Sun Tsu did not see as he wrote it, and then we can free ourselves with the knowledge that no conflict can be created or resolved, for existence is a constant state of fluxion.
