Summary

This quote suggests that those who initiate an attack must succeed in overcoming their opponent, while those who choose to defend only need to endure and stay alive. It implies that the burden of victory lies on the attacker, who must attain absolute triumph, as failure could result in defeat. On the other hand, the defender has a lesser goal, which is to withstand and avoid total loss. Overall, it emphasizes the importance of strategic decision-making and the divergent aims of conflict in terms of offense and defense.
