When the Tao is used to govern the worldthen evil will lose its power to harm the people.Not that evil will no longer exist,but only because it has lost its power.Just as evil can loose its ability to harm,the Master shuns the use of violence. If you give evil nothing to oppose,then virtue will return by itself. -- Translated by J. H. McDonald
