"Of all who go from birth to death, Those who live long Are three out of ten; Those who die young Are three out of ten; Those who are alive But mill around in the field of death— Are also three out of ten. Now why is that? It is because they take too good care of their lives. I have heard those who know how to preserve themselves Do not encounter rhinos or tigers when traveling on land, Do not wear armor when going into battle; That the rhino finds no spot to butt its horn, That the tiger finds no spot to sink its claws, That the weapon finds no spot to thrust its blade. Now why is that? It is because they are not in the field of death."
