An action set in motion. A historian once decided to stop his study. For he thought he could make history without the past, soon he realised that he fought against a tide of the past.
Actions once set in motion seem impossible to stop.
Thus he realised that he too should try to set his goodly action in motion. For if it took years for past actions to be fulfilled one day - maybe even when he dies his actions may be realised.
We all sometimes wonder why things are happening around us. An event that seems to make no logical or current sense for the economic, cultural or personal development of our communities.
We may find the answers in researching the history - the actions and decisions of someone ( influential) or some group of leader.
The causes of today events are effects of the decision that are thousands of years old in many cases.Others are 100's of years old, some 10 to 20 years old.
These we have little control over in the current situation, but in the longer term, we do help to fuel or quench the fire while we are alive. Moreover, there is one little area we can indeed control.
Our lives.
"The thoughtless, the ignorant, and indolent, seeing only the apparent effects of things and not the things themselves, talk of law, of fortune, and chance. Seeing a man grow rich, they say, 'How lucky he is!' Observing another become intellectual they exclaim, 'How highly favored he is!' And noting the saintly character and wide influence of another, they remark, 'How chance aids him at every turn!' They don't see the trials and failures and the struggles which these men have voluntarily encountered in order to gain their experience; have no knowledge of the sacrifices they have made, of the undaunted efforts they have put forth, of the faith they have exercised, that they might overcome the apparently insurmountable, and realize the vision of their heart. They do not know the darkness and the heart aches; they only see the light and the Joy, and they call it 'luck'; do not see the longing arduous journey, but only behold the pleasant goal, and call it 'good fortune'; do not understand the process, but only perceive the result, and call it 'chance'.” ...
