>>20400555Natural law refers to how things just simply work by viewing the problem from all possible sides and understanding it. A few examples of this would be how feeding animals creates a reliant population that over generations has their animal instincts decay and cause a population explosion which may harm the environment while people would view feeding wild animals as being helpful to animals in an urban environment or simple enjoyment for themselves because of their love of wild things. A second example is simply how somebody putting up with abuse but not allowed to retaliate in anyway will have to find some sort of output, be it taking anger out on a stranger which will possibly carry on the cycle or through something like art or cooking which is seen as more productive as a whole but requires more focus. Every action has waves that carries over and being aware of where those waves are going to go can help other people and therefore possibly come back to help you.
Of course there are always unknown variables. Being aware of other peoples energies and not letting negative ones build up helps, as well as just simply understanding somebodies insane rants or logic that while they are completely untrue getting into some sort of conflict with them won't help most of the time. Simply just letting their bad ideas wash over you and not letting them sink into you as something that needs to be corrected directly helps the mind. People are taught things that are wrong all the time that they believe is true through an authority figure, but if they eventually learn for themselves something that is wrong through experience or through logical thinking that is going to stick a lot better.
Also I have not heard of the term "ataraxia" until now but looking it up I would have to agree with it. Trying to be purely logical and objective all my life and getting into conflicts about those "truths" let gloom into my heart and now I am trying to fix that mistake.
