Three of Pent's + 5 of Swords, Dungeons&Dragons + Circle of Life

Finding it difficult to collaborate now for some reason? 
Don't fight it.
Let the plot unfold - like the plot in a role playing game.
Use skill instead of strength.
It's not about 'pushing your will through' or 'winning at all costs'.
Whatever happens happens for a reason.

"The wise man knows that sometimes skill is more effective than strength. If the price of victory is too high, retreat is not a dishonour."
