I believe in the power of nature. I believe that man is regulated by and abides within nature. When I say nature I do not mean necessarily things in their natural state or only those places where we go to enjoy nature, but rather I am referring to the natural balance that is found when people, animals, vegetation and systems follow the natural laws that govern them. When people, animals, vegetation and systems don't follow these laws, it is my belief that nature will force a correction that is often very painful.

For example, a certain plot of ground in nature is only capable of supporting a certain amount of plant and wildlife. Nature, or the laws that govern that plot of ground, will dictate what that amount is and will create a natural balance through the process of rain, wind, mineral content, etc. That natural balance may take time to get to but it will be found. If it gets out of balance, nature, or those laws will correct it. Consider the rain fall. The vegetation will be adapted to a certain amount of rainfall and, if the area has a low to moderate rainfall and is in an area that is susceptible to forest fires, the type of vegetation will be one that can properly come back from such a devastation.

When this natural balance is manipulated it is my opinion that the consequences are worse for both the manipulated as well as the manipulator and innocent passers by. Take for example the example of the forest and fire. When man, in an effort to minimize forest fires, fights nature by both doing controlled burns as well as prematurely extinguishing a fire, it allows the areas of nature to not enjoy the natural balance of the laws that govern that part of the land and it becomes off balance. Rather than allow the scales to balance, it is as though there is someone holding the scales themselves – keeping them just where it is best for them. There will come a time when the manipulators will no longer be able to hold the balance against nature and when the scales fall back, the fire will be many, many times greater than had they allowed nature to play its course in the first place. The Yellowstone fire is an excellent example of this.

Among man, there are also natural laws that govern us. All laws have promised benefits when followed and consequences when disobeyed. Some laws would be for example the law of agency, the law to not trespass on another's property without their permission, the law to respect the right to live, and the law governing our human interactions: that of love. When those laws are not followed there is a natural consequence. Some of those natural consequences are resistance, retaliation, death, distrust and unhappiness. These natural consequences should be allowed. No, the must be allowed. Why? Because if we don't, resistance will turn to revolution, retaliation to lawlessness, distrust to war, and unhappiness to greater disease, misery and poverty.

Corporate cover ups, presidential pardons, preemptive regime changes, manipulation of “laws”, and conspiracies to hide the truth at all levels from families to businesses to governments are not only wrong but the consequences of avoiding the natural correction of the balance is that it will be more than just them that will suffer – it is you and I, and in some cases, everyone. And when the scales can no longer be manipulated in their balance – the suffering will be greater than it ever should have been.

I may not like the movement politically of our nation, nor do I agree with the direction of so many things, but I believe that right will prevail and that in the end, nature will bring us back into proper balance. I however, wish to choose to be balanced, rather than have that balance forced upon me.

There are times when nature takes us on the wrong course, such as in cancer and its metaphorical parallels. We must use wisdom and judgement in intervening to save lives and others and to know when nature's higher laws request human intervention to bring it back on course.

It is up to you and I to not manipulate the laws and consequences. It is up to you and I to not only live according to the laws of nature, but also to accept the natural correction and to learn from our mistakes so that we can find the proper balance as individuals, families, businesses and nations. It is up to you and I told uphold the laws and to support good legislation.

As well might man stretch forth his puny arm to stop the Missouri river in its decreed course, as to hinder the scales of nature from finding their proper balance.

Thank you for reading.
