What are the natural laws, and why dont we see them clearly? Why do we seem to buy into all of the human-made laws that usually are created to benefit some group or another, yet ignore the way the world is? Theres much that we can learn from observing the world in which we live and the way that life goes on, with or without us. And theres much to learn from the laws of other nations and societies, for they are just as valuable a reflection of their people as your own laws are of yours. People tell us that learning is about gathering and maintaining information and facts, but wisdom tells us its about being a part of things and feeling them as part of ourselves. People tell us that success is about earning money and coming in first and gathering possessions, but few people reach any sort of happiness that way. People tell us that we have to look out for number one, but life tells us that by looking out for our friends and neighbors, we really are looking out for ourselves.Careful observation is one of the most valuable skills that we can learn in life. But its not enough in itself--we also have to learn from what we observe, and allow ourselves to take valuable lessons from all that we see and hear. Weve been put on this planet with the ability to observe carefully, yet it seems to be one of those skills or talents that almost all of us neglect. And when we neglect it, our ability lessens. Can a runner take three months off and then come back and run at the same speed as before? Hardly. Then why do we think that we can observe carefully without practicing, and without maintaining our skills regularly?It really is worth it. There really is a lot to be said for living lightly, spontaneously, and effortlessly
