Folk wisdom knows no boundaries, for all occasions there are all kinds of proverbs, sayings, parables, aphorisms, and, most surprisingly, situations on all continents of the Earth in instructive phrases are different, and the conclusions are the same. The same words are repeated from generation to generation, but sometimes it is pronounced purely formally, without realizing the deep meaning in which the spiritual law is enclosed, and ignorance of this will not save us from responsibility. For example, this happens with the expression: "Everything that is done is done for the better."
Spiritual law
The laws of the natural sciences (physical, chemical, biological, etc.) are not denied by anyone, and, knowing them at least at the household level, people are guided and subordinate to them in their lives. No one will jump from an airplane without a parachute
(Newton’s law), touch bare electric wires (Ohm’s law), dive into the water without knowing how to swim
(Archimedes’s law). Spiritual laws are also discovered a long time ago and are set forth, for example, in the Bible or other religious teachings, and, of course, they are reflected in the oral art of the peoples. The spiritual law: “Everything that is done is done for the better” is not a banal soothing phrase, not a call for the better, but a chance to understand and accept what happened for further spiritual growth.
Understand and accept
“Everything that is being done is being done for the better” is heard from all sides for any minor reason. But as soon as it comes to serious tragedies, the human mind refuses to accept death as a science, always looking for the culprit (he or they, of course, always exists), not understanding the main thing: everyone is involved in the incident. All for the better is not a slogan of optimists who are not afraid of anything, but a law confirming a person’s right to choose. The choice is made every second: to go - not to go, to do - not to do, to think - not to think, to be silent - to speak. In taking action, a person chooses (albeit unconsciously) the responsibility that will be incurred for this, so that the expressions “fate cheated” or “God punished” are actually soothing and condoning phrases for unbelievers. Nobody punishes anyone for violating spiritual laws - only everyone himself. This
is difficult
to accept , because justification has become a habit. But how useless it is to scream in the sky and justify that you forgot the parachute because you didn’t get enough sleep, just as it is useless to wring your hands about a failed fate and look for those responsible.
Everything will be fine
Why is everything that is being done is being done for the better? What is being done according to the law is understandable, but who said what exactly is for the better? Probably because it is an axiom. It is accepted by the heart, and to prove it to a closed soul is almost impossible. Once at the dawn of civilization, man was given knowledge of all the laws, but he preferred to cultivate the natural sciences, because they opened the way to profit and power. But not paying attention to spiritual commandments means signing a death sentence for yourself, which can be seen on the history of recent centuries: the more sophisticated and grander discoveries - the more merciless people are towards each other, the louder they shout about peace - the bloodier the war, the more drugs mean more diseases. But the universe still gravitates toward goodness, and therefore everything that is done is done for the better, even if soon there will not be a single person left in the Universe.
