    I remember reading this pome back in the day when I was younger. To be honest, it didn't really impress me much. It seemed too simple and kind of left me confused by the whole thing. Now, reading it again, it still doesn't resonates with me. I understand that it's probably about the concept of war, but it just feels lacking. Does anyone know if there's a deeper meaning that I'm missing here? I'd like to better appreciate it, but it just doesn't do much for me at the moment.
