Meaning
This reads as an explanation of power through uncertainty. It suggests that hiding can be a strategy in itself, because fear grows when people cannot tell what is coming or who is behind it. It lands in politics, leadership, or conflict, where secrecy can be used not just to protect oneself, but to unsettle others.
