About This Quote
Sun Tzu said, “The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.” He was saying that the art of war is important for any nation. As long as the state has an army, it will have peace.
If the state does not have an army, then it will be at war. The quote above is saying that there are so many things in the world that are important for each country but if they are not prepared, they can be easily defeated by other countries.
