Mind Power

The relationship between nature and human beings is an eternal topic. Human beings are part of nature but also distinguished from it. Based on this contradiction, there arose eloquent debaters. Emerson regards fate as a part of nature. Men are easily crushed by visitation of providence and disease. On the contrary, human beings are as powerful as nature. They are not order of the nature; they see, observe, learn and grow. Although the natural is powerful, it does not develop so fast as human. It is too ordinary, but humans think. Man thinking means changes, and changes reflect infinite possibility. In spite of the existence of fate, we are not the slave of fate. Control or be controlled, that is not a problem. We are to be the controller of our fate. Emerson suggests that “Intellect annuls Fate. So far as a man thinks, he is free.” Whatever is fated, it will take place. Yet the consequence is always changing. You are going to face the bad things happen in your life. Like him say, at least for your good. There is a Chinese maxim goes “If human don’t do things for his own good, the providence and the earth will destroy him.” As long as a human thinks, he has the possibility to control his life on his own.
