The World Is Not Our Enemy! -4.
Without a pair of oars, the boat cannot move.
Without the boat, the oars are useless; they serve no purpose.
When both are together, they help us to cross the river.
The upper and lower teeth are not at war against each other.
Both are necessary if we wish to chew our food properly.
Perhaps this is how we should view our life and things and factors, both outer and inner.
God is all-intelligence.
He would not have committed an error, a blunder.
All other forms of life, no matter how strong, how dynamic, how well endowed they are, when they are moving forward and come across a formidable obstruction, change their direction.
Man alone asks how he can scale it, how he can overcome it.
He does not think of changing his direction.
He thinks of continuing his onward movement.
If a river comes, build a bridge to cross it!
If a mountain obstructs a railroad, bore a tunnel through it!
Perhaps this has something to teach us.
Man alone does this—no other creature.
