Ideas from the 2nd and 5th, and the 8th Is Born

 Naturally Impartial Laws


From learning to work with time and seasons as plants do; to lightening lives as the moon, stars, and sun do; learning to pay attention to things we can feel for they can be as real and strong as the wind; working smart and co-operatively like ants do; learning to seek healthy support because gravity teaches us that it will be needed to get and/or remain ‘up there’; learning from the weather that change in life is constant, etc, Nature is indeed an awesome teacher, and I’ll simply (and instinctively) define Nature as the product of God’s ideas.

There is a common saying in one of the native languages where I come from; in English, it means water has no enemies. The idea of the saying is that water is loved by everyone, and it will still be needed even by someone who has had a bad experience with water. At this point, I call to mind a movie that details a well-known shipwreck; the movie is named after the ship. In the movie (and sadly, I’m sure that was what really happened), we sadly get to see water take the lives of both really wealthy and not too wealthy passengers. This is certainly not one of those likeable examples to describe how an element of Nature can be non-discriminatory, but one of Nature’s principal lessons: Nature is impartial.

When it comes to Nature, everyone (and everything) stands a fair chance. ‘What you sow, you shall reap’, ‘What goes around, comes around’, ‘Garbage in, garbage out’, etc, these are all sayings that support Nature’s impartiality and the natural course – Ceteris paribus. At one time, I knew a man that needed a kidney transplant because he had massive cancerous growths in both kidneys; his brother agreed to donate one of his. He appeared wealthier and more literate than his brother. He had, for a long time, known that smoking predisposes to various kinds of cancers but he continued anyway. In fact, my conversation with him revealed that this unhealthy habit got worse with time, and he was hypertensive as well. On the other hand, his brother just knew that smoking can affect one’s health. The cancer did not choose or reject any of them; it simply appeared and grew in the kidneys of the one that ‘fed’ it.

Via Nature as a teacher, we can all learn to be impartial in our dealings with everyone irrespective of race, gender, nationality, ethnicity, religion, financial and health status. After all, we are all part of Nature, and it is only natural for life to treat fairly anyone who treats others fairly. With the knowledge that Nature is impartial, we can, at present, plan for right results in the future by putting the right things in place right now. To illustrate: Will it be unfair if the soil produces maize, in a couple of weeks, for a farmer that planted beans seeds? Of course, it will be — and this is not natural. Do we want to enjoy good health now and in the future? Let’s exercise regularly, rest adequately, and not forget our natural friends — fresh air, water, fruits, vegetables, etc. How about finances? Let’s save more, keep our spending in check by paying more attention to our needs, setting financial targets and working towards them, etc. How about using Nature’s impartiality to take care of Earth? Planting trees; using, consuming, and producing the ‘green’ way are sure ways to preserve Earth’s health.

I’m sure I have only scratched the surface when it comes to this true-life, unscripted, 100 percent unaltered motion picture I call Nature. Let’s familiarize ourselves with this teacher and be sure we are working with, not against, its impartial laws.
