A
given
action
that
stops
when
it
's
supposed
to
is
none
the
worse
for
stopping
.
Nor
the
person
engaged
in
it
either
.
So
too
with
the
succession
of
actions
we
call
"
life
.
"
If
it
ends
when
it
's
supposed
to
,
it
's
none
the
worse
for
that
.
And
the
person
who
comes
to
the
end
of
the
line
has
no
cause
for
complaint
.
The
time
and
stopping
point
are
set
by
nature
--
our
own
nature
,
in
some
cases
(
death
from
old
age
)
;
or
nature
as
a
whole
,
whose
parts
,
shifting
and
changing
,
constantly
renew
the
world
,
and
keep
it
on
schedule
.
Nothing
that
benefits
all
things
can
be
ugly
or
out
of
place
.
The
end
of
life
is
not
an
evil
--
it
does
n't
disgrace
us
.
(
Why
should
we
be
ashamed
of
an
involuntary
act
that
injures
no
one
?
)
.
It
's
a
good
thing
--
scheduled
by
the
world
,
promoting
it
,
promoted
by
it
.
This
is
how
we
become
godlike
--
following
God
's
path
,
and
reason
's
goals
.

Three
things
,
essential
at
all
times
:
i
(
a
)
.
your
own
actions
:
that
they
're
not
arbitrary
or
different
from
what
abstract
justice
would
do
.
i
(
b
)
.
external
events
:
that
they
happen
randomly
or
by
design
.
You
ca
n't
complain
about
chance
.
You
ca
n't
argue
with
Providence
.
ii
.
what
all
things
are
like
,
from
the
planting
of
the
seed
to
the
quickening
of
life
,
and
from
its
quickening
to
its
relinquishment
.
Where
the
parts
came
from
and
where
they
return
to
.
iii
.
that
if
you
were
suddenly
lifted
up
and
could
see
life
and
its
variety
from
a
vast
height
,
and
at
the
same
time
all
the
things
around
you
,
in
the
sky
and
beyond
it
,
you
'd
see
how
pointless
it
is
.
And
no
matter
how
often
you
saw
it
,
it
would
be
the
same
:
the
same
life
forms
,
the
same
life
span
.
