W6 D6-Goodenss Me!

Why do the good men suffer and the wicked seem to sail through life?
There is not much of a mystery if you will only concentrate on the way we are connected to one another.
Look at surface tension: It can be in the words of Guy Murchie’ s words,” as the kind of energy that gives exaggerated strength to any interface between a liquid, gas or a solid and enables some bugs to walk on water, imprisons others in a drop… It was first described by Laplace as,’ the cumulative effect … of countless molecular attractions.’" (Music of the Spheres: Houghton Mifflin) In our urgency to be relevant we set off series of actions. These are events piling up onto other events already in circulation. Cumulative effect of the past must skew up carefully built up plans of today. History is replete with such instances that its meaning cannot be lost on any serious student of history.
“The great depression of the ’29 was not perceived while the Versailles Treaty was signed by leading statesmen of the day with an avowed purpose. If their idealism could have had a free run ‘the nations would have beat their swords into ploughshares’. Were they responsible or their noble sentiments at fault? Their actions came against economic and social changes and before long the world was plunged into a more violent conflagration. Truth can be demonstrated by any individual in his actions; and these are events and on their own. If good or bad events are fated alike to undergo subtle changes at every turn what shall man do? Man is only responsible for his life and he shall take personal satisfaction of having been true to his ideals. As a symbol he would also be a pioneer: he would help many others clarify their own positions because he showed how.
Thus morality of man must be judged from his deeds and in response to his times and place so his actions do make sense. In short it bears certain relationship to Truth.” ( extract: The Life of Aesop Part-III preface p. 202-203)
