A student came to me last night and related how there's a difficult situation brewing in her life and how she had recieved some advice on how to fight back.

Luckily for her, she plays tai chi and knows that fighting back and adding to any conflict will never resolve a problem. Instead she related to me that she has done her part to neutralize the situation and will now just sit back and relax and watch in order to see how it all unfolds. 

Very nice work :)

The surest way to keep a conflict going is to add energy to it. 

Better to join, neutralize, control and..... advance on your own terms.
