All life hangs in the balance. All things are supposed to be fair and even. However, the sensitive balance between good and evil has been tipped. The forbidden fruit has blinded the eye and dulled the heart. Today, there is no balance, and therefore no fairness. When things are not even, then life becomes odd, very odd indeed.

Natural law was born to bring alignment and balance to the universe. When natural law is allowed to take its course all things find their place. When natural law is thwarted and challenged, the imbalance caused creates its own need for balance. The great law holds that to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Nature moves slowly as ordained by the Hand of G-d. The Divine Mind sees and knows that which mere mortal humans cannot perceive. Limited human minds, unbalanced by the forbidden fruit, push and push against nature. They do not see and do not know that the opposite reaction builds and builds. At the moment of Divine design the balance is restored.

The moment of Divine design when balance is restored comes quickly and unexpected. Yet, come it does, and balance is restored, with the removal of everything, absolutely everything, that stands in the way of balance and that caused the imbalance in the first place.

Balance is the Divine design. Harmony and peace between forces is the Way of Heaven. Though things tip from side to side, this is only necessary movement. For without movement there is no growth. Yet, with great movement comes great growth. The Divine design allows the great imbalance to occur in order that the great balance will naturally follow.

Woe to those who see only the imbalance and think it will last forever, for they will be washed away along with the imbalance. This is not a warning about the far away future; this is stern advice for today. Nature hates imbalance; this is true of the world surrounding us and the world inside us.

When we create imbalance through the mistakes of our minds, hearts and behavior, we automatically and naturally create and set into action an equal and opposite force that will stop at nothing to restore matters into the greater harmony and alignment. This cannot be avoided. It is inevitable.

When we seek to create our own advantage at the expense of another, in the end we only end up harming ourselves more than if we had done nothing in the first place.

There is no greater abomination in the eyes of G-d than for a human being to act stupidly. Not even the animals, who are supposed to be lesser than humanity, act with the stupidity that we see in many people. Animals follow nature. We humans are supposed to as well.

When, however, we choose to ignore the greater whole and selfishly act as if the world revolves around ourselves, we then act unnaturally. Yes, it is unnatural for the human to act in ways that are inhuman. When we act unnaturally and inhuman; we create the equal and opposite force that pulls us away from our own stupidity and back into the simple wisdom of what should be common sense.

There is nothing that pleases G-d more than when human beings act humanely, in accordance to the Divinely ordained natural law. In this there is wisdom, balance and fulfillment.

And remember this; the Divinely ordained natural law is in Hebrew called Torah. It is the "complete stone" under our feet and upon which all the universe is built.
