Many people justify violence by saying that they have been the victims of plots and conspiracies and so must put an end to this by fighting. This excuse is quite baseless. What is generally regarded as a plot is, in actual fact, a manifestation of that plan of nature which has been established in the present world as a natural law.
In any controversy, one way to attempt to settle matters is for both parties to enter into violent confrontation. The better way to settle disputes is to effect a reconciliation at the very outset. econciliation is like a safety valve in any situation where there are conflicting interests and where tempers can become explosive. So at times of
provocation, the best course to adopt is a conciliatory rather than a confrontational one. That is a law of nature.
Although many allurements exist in this world, they are there purely to put man to the test. They are not something desirable for man. In avoidance of temptation man shows that he is prudent and a man of principles.
Man has been given freedom in this world. What is required of him is that, despite possessing total freedom, he should of his own free will become an example of moral, disciplined behaviour. One who thus conducts himself will pass God’s test and will be selected by the Lord, the Creator and Sustainer of this universe, as the beneficiaries of
that most wonderful blessing—eternal paradise.
