Elaboration 38
This is the normal principle in living nature i.e.:
'hands off, let go, do not interfere', etc. All meddling with
living nature by man, is life destructive or damaging.
True, some things may improve by a manipulation of man, his
'making changes', but this 'changing' has to be very, very
carefully calculated before deciding on it. On the other
hand, to decide doing nothing, or vote against doing something, can never harm because it is in line with all nature.
Shall I pick this flower? Does it make a gain? No! Then
leave it alone! Shall I cut down this dead tree? Is there
gain in't? Yes, it threatens to fall on a children's playground. Then, do cut it, but in future, see to it that
trees in playgrounds remain healthy, are not damaged by the
children. Shall we put copper needles into Earth's orbit?
What is the gain? Improvement of radio communications.
What is the danger? We cannot calculate what the effects
would be (like in the first atomic bomb). Then, by all
means, don't do it, it is irrepairable! This rule of
nature, of 'let go', is so important that in the future
world-government, changes in nature must be decided on by
unanimity (minus one vote), but decisions NOT to do something need only 3/4 of the total.
