Whatever
happens
to
you
has
been
waiting
to
happen
since
the
beginning
of
time
.
The
twining
strands
of
fate
wove
both
of
them
together
:
your
own
existence
and
the
things
that
happen
to
you
.

.
Whether
it
's
atoms
or
nature
,
the
first
thing
to
be
said
is
this
:
I
am
a
part
of
a
world
controlled
by
nature
.
Secondly
:
that
I
have
a
relationship
with
other
,
similar
parts
.
And
with
that
in
mind
I
have
no
right
,
as
a
part
,
to
complain
about
what
is
assigned
me
by
the
whole
.
Because
what
benefits
the
whole
ca
n't
harm
the
parts
,
and
the
whole
does
nothing
that
does
n't
benefit
it
.
That
's
a
trait
shared
by
all
natures
,
but
the
nature
of
the
world
is
defined
by
a
second
characteristic
as
well
:
no
outside
force
can
compel
it
to
cause
itself
harm
.
So
by
keeping
in
mind
the
whole
I
form
a
part
of
,
I
'll
accept
whatever
happens
.
And
because
of
my
relationship
to
other
parts
,
I
will
do
nothing
selfish
,
but
aim
instead
to
join
them
,
to
direct
my
every
action
toward
what
benefits
us
all
and
to
avoid
what
does
n't
.
If
I
do
all
that
,
then
my
life
should
go
smoothly
.
As
you
might
expect
a
citizen
's
life
to
go
--
one
whose
actions
serve
his
fellow
citizens
,
and
who
embraces
the
community
's
decree
.

.
The
whole
is
compounded
by
nature
of
individual
parts
,
whose
destruction
is
inevitable
(
"
destruction
"
here
meaning
transformation
)
.
If
the
process
is
harmful
to
the
parts
and
unavoidable
,
then
it
's
hard
to
see
how
the
whole
can
run
smoothly
,
with
parts
of
it
passing
from
one
state
to
another
,
all
of
them
built
only
to
be
destroyed
in
different
ways
.
Does
nature
set
out
to
cause
its
own
components
harm
,
and
make
them
vulnerable
to
it
--
indeed
,
predestined
to
it
?
Or
is
it
oblivious
to
what
goes
on
?
Neither
one
seems
very
plausible
.
But
suppose
we
throw
out
"
nature
"
and
explain
these
things
through
inherent
properties
.
It
would
still
be
absurd
to
say
that
the
individual
things
in
the
world
are
inherently
prone
to
change
,
and
at
the
same
time
be
astonished
at
it
or
complain
--
on
the
grounds
that
it
was
happening
"
contrary
to
nature
.
"
And
least
of
all
when
things
return
to
the
state
from
which
they
came
.
Because
our
elements
are
either
simply
dispersed
,
or
are
subject
to
a
kind
of
gravitation
--
the
solid
portions
being
pulled
toward
earth
,
and
what
is
ethereal
drawn
into
the
air
,
until
they
're
absorbed
into
the
universal
logos
--
which
is
subject
to
periodic
conflagrations
,
or
renewed
through
continual
change
.
And
do
n't
imagine
either
that
those
elements
--
the
solid
ones
and
the
ethereal
--
are
with
us
from
our
birth
.
Their
influx
took
place
yesterday
,
or
the
day
before
--
from
the
food
we
ate
,
the
air
we
breathed
.
And
that
's
what
changes
--
not
the
person
your
mother
gave
birth
to
.
--
But
if
you
're
inextricably
linked
to
it
through
your
sense
of
individuality
?
