"Prompt: How important is it to look below the surface of things, since LaoTzu said in the Art of War, “He who sees the obvious wins his battles with difficulty. He who looks below the surface of things, wins with ease”? "
I think it is extremely important to look below the surface. Most generally when somebody is upset with somebody else it is because of what's going on below the surface.The person may be responding to someone cutting them off in traffic but their response seems out of place.
