Tao Thirty-One

  Author: 45537  Category:(Philosophy) Created:(10/29/2002 4:25:00 PM)
This post has been Viewed (1291 times)

Good weapons are instruments of fear; all creatures hate them. Therefore followers of the Tao never use them. The wise man prefers the left. The man of war prefers the right.

Weapons are instruments of fear; they are not a wise man's tools. He uses them only when he has no choice. Peace and quiet are dear to his heart, And victory no cause for rejoicing. If you rejoice in victory, then you delight in killing; If you delight in killing, you cannot fulfill yourself.

On happy occasions precedence is given to the left, On sad occasions to the right. In the army the general stands on the left, The commander-in-chief on the right. This means that war is conducted like a funeral. When many people are being killed, The should be mourned in the heartfelt sorrow. That is why a victory must be observed like a funeral.
