Obeying Natural Laws

Does anybody refuse to obey natural laws? Only mistakenly. People worldwide are surrounded with natural laws that serve to nurture, preserve, and guide them. But if ignored, however mistakenly, those same laws penalize everybody that, in effect, dares to challenge nature's authority.

Those words would not shock readers who are familiar with laws of physics. But many decades ago when Richard W. Wetherill identified nature's law of right behavior, it was ridiculed and rejected by scientists, religionists, and educators alike. Wetherill called it the law of absolute right and continued to speak of it and to press a section of the public for their support.

Unaware of that rejection, members of the general public continued to act on their own codes of conduct, as had all previous generations.

With what result?

Conflicts within each person and with others, international warfare, rampant corruption, criminal activity, and disabling health problems, causing the final destruction of everybody's precious gift of life.

Those conditions continue today because the law of absolute right is still mistakenly being ignored and contradicted by the self-serving nature of the general public: people mistakenly behaving as if they were a law unto themselves.

In contrast, those same people carefully try to conform to laws of physics such as gravity, electricity, and chemistry to avoid the recognized penalties inflicted by those self-enforcing laws of nature.

Wetherill defined the law of absolute right as calling for rational and honest behavior simply because whoever or whatever created the law intends people's behavior to be right.

One person who learned of the law of absolute right turned his life around in order to think, say, and do what was rational and honest in his social and business activities.

First, his eating habits changed. He questioned the rationality of many favorite foods and found they lost their appeal. He exercised daily, and during the ensuing months, seventy-five pounds disappeared.

Second, he honestly applied the law to the image he had been projecting of an enthusiastic "happy guy." Relieved of the pressure to support that image, he became a truly happy guy by conforming to nature's behavioral law.

Third, when presented with difficult or troubling situations, his changed attitude to do what was rational and honest enabled him easily to handle those situations to his and other people's mutual satisfaction.

Fourth, his business activities increased, providing more income for him and for those he employed.

Perhaps those examples, among many, will encourage readers to change their approach to life's situations. By behaving rationally and honestly as called for by a natural law, that law has become their behavioral guiding light, so to speak.
