Tao Te Ching 31 (First Part)

Weapons are the tools of violence;

All decent men detest them.

Today I will interpret the Tao Te Ching 31 (First Part). Weapons are the tools of violence; all decent men detest them. It is true that weapons are the tools of violence because weapons create harm and are used in doing bad things especially killings. In wars or battles, weapons are being used and its effects are so devastating that it can paralyze a country. All decent men detest them, decent men detest weapon if not really needed because weapons only create conflicts and conflicts must be arrange through good talks or peace talks.
