"Give evil nothing to oppose and it will dissappear by itself." ~Chapter 60, Tao Te Ching~
Just curious, what do you guys think this passage means?

Just seems to me like its talking about binary opposition of words.. Like Truth and Falsity, Good and Evil..
If there is no "Good" there can be no "Evil"... .. I'm not sure.. maybe its just saying we should all take a "do-nothing" approach.

To me, it's all about balance--& trying to achieve & maintain it....one cannot exist without the other.

I also see it as about getting past duality and the "us vs them" mentality.
