My last blog entry discusses Musonius, a stoic of impeccable reputation and logic. Unlike many of his peers -- ancient Roman men, wise and refined themselves -- Musonius supported advanced education for women. Wouldn't a husband, he argued, want a wife who is smart and capable of making the right decisions in life?
In other words, Musonius implied that only a man who is weak and insecure would want a woman who is uneducated in philosophy and thus can't think for herself. Men who are of superior stock would naturally want women who are superior as well.
Since the founding of Sonshi.com in 1999, we believe that the readers who would benefit most from Sun Tzu are women. Because women are usually in disadvantaged positions, Sun Tzu's The Art of War teaches them how to leverage what they already have and think more strategically to win the challenges they face. With calmness and consistency, victory isn't out of reach for those inclined to work hard and persist through the ups and downs of life.
It is with that belief that Sonshi.com is powered by ♀.com, which means we are not giving up anytime soon.
Of course Sun Tzu can be of assistance for men and minorities in similar disadvantaged positions. Timeless philosophy like The Art of War helps everyone level the playing field. Although Sun Tzu doesn't guarantee a win, because as any good student knows that victory lies in the hands of the competition, Sun Tzu does guarantee that you will be at your best if you study his lessons well.
And being at your best, which is entirely under your control, is good enough. There is little stress when there is logical strategy.
