"Il n'existe pas de combat équitable, toutes les vulnérabilités sont exploitées"
— J.R.R. Tolkien

Simplified Meaning:
In any kind of conflict or competition, people often take advantage of each other's weaknesses. Imagine two people arguing. One knows the other is sensitive about a particular topic, so they might bring it up to hurt their feelings and win the argument. This happens in sports too. If a basketball player knows their opponent has a weak left side, they will keep trying to force them to use that side. In business, companies analyze each other's weak points to outperform them. This idea teaches us to be prepared and protect our vulnerabilities because others might use them against us. It’s also a reminder that fairness can be hard to find when everyone is trying to come out on top.
