Strife shows itself in various ways. Open contention occurs when the contender feels himself to be in the right. When not in the right, he resorts to blatant impositions or cunning subterfuges.

The superior person is clear╨headed and inwardly strong, meets opponents halfway, and is ready to submit his case to authoritative and just arbiters. Difficult enterprises are not to be undertaken under such conditions.
