Laws of the universe
To understand them, observe them over a long period of time
March 14th 2021
The physical or psychic constitution of someone who does not behave reasonably is like the wooden framework of a house that is riddled with woodworm: the worms do not destroy it overnight, but years later, the house suddenly collapses. This pattern can be seen in many areas – not only in the lives of human beings but also in entire countries. Often, it is only when we look back centuries later that we can see how a country gradually decayed. Those who lived through the decline were unconcerned because they were blind to what was happening.
Those who base their evaluation of a situation on a short span of time are bound to be mistaken in their judgements because they cannot see how the laws work. One isolated segment of a long process is not a reliable basis for judgement. To understand how the laws work, you have to observe people and events over a long period of time.
