I have to comprehend the art of war in order to be allowed to propose to my girlfriend.?
Edit
I have read through the book but it still makes no sense how any of it is supposed to help me in modern day situations. I understand certain parts while others are still confusing as hell. Please help me.
If you know your girlfriend and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred proposals. If you know yourself but not your girlfriend, for every argument won you will also suffer humiliation. If you know neither your girlfriend nor yourself, you may as well give up and become a monk.
