Governed by LAW

We are all governed by “law”. Usually we think of laws that are set by society to govern behavior of those who live there in. There are also laws relating to other aspects of our life. There are laws of nature and laws of science and mathematics. Some laws are irrefutable. In other words you cannot escape them. If you put your hand on a hot stove, you will be burned. If you jump out of a tall building you will either be seriously injured or suffer death. If you follow the proper formula for doing a mathematic problem you will get the correct answer. Other laws given to govern people’s behavior are not inviolable. We have a choice to either follow the law or to ‘possibly’ be penalized if and when we are caught. I always say that if we ignore or try to avoid abiding the ‘basic’ law of behavior (for instance) then if and when we are caught, we will become even more intimately aware of the ‘remainder or supporting laws’ that are related to that law. For example say we steal something from someone. We are caught and not only do we have the basic law presented to us, we then are subject to all the remaining laws and penalties regarding that law.
Living by law is really a wonderful thing. Having a secure knowledge that if we are in obedience to the laws governing things we understand and know, will increase our happiness and joy. We learn these things from the time we take our first breath until we take our last one. We are nurtured in our homes and learn in our schools and our life’s work. I think laws also are related to how we treat others. If we are kind and forgiving, generally we are treated kindly ourselves. Someone once said something like this “what we send out usually comes back to us”. May we live so as to garner the best in our life’s efforts!
