| Every detail of the natural world operates according to strict laws. Science has been working to investigate these laws but Ifm afraid it has so far succeeded in discovering only a thousandth or a ten thousandth of them. The law that human beings want to understand more than any other may be the law of fate. People seek it in religions, or they try to learn it themselves from their own experience. For example, everyone today knows that if they behave self-centeredly, their business fortunes and family happiness begin to decline and that if they act to please others, they get their own and othersf joy as the result. This knowledge is not a scientifically proven law but everyone is aware of it intuitively from their experience. In business, there is another law that if you please your customers your business will prosper and yield a good profit. I believe that people learn by heart as a fundamental element of lifefs wisdom that if you help others you will surely be helped later. There is another thing that many people know as an important element of lifefs wisdom. This is the words gThank you.h When you say, gThank you,h after being helped, the principle that those who help others will also be helped has an effect on others. I think I can interpret the situation as follows: People unconsciously know and practice the truth in life that, following the law that those who help others will be helped, you can help otherfs fate only by showing delight in those things that they did for you. You can help others by just expressing your gratitude to them. And when you help someone, you are helped as well. It is my belief, therefore, that many people in the world consider that there are no greater words than gThank you,hand use them most often. |
