An idea from The Book of Five Rings

“‘To become the enemy’ means to think yourself into the enemy’s position.” A robber trapped in a house looks dangerous from outside. From inside, he feels the whole world closing in on him. He is the pheasant and you are the hawk.

From The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi
