The Problem of Thinking Wrong

The Problem of Thinking Wrong The truth is that the world works according to the laws of nature, not the plans or schemes of any biased group. Even if a group or faction wishes otherwise, nature will block their way, and they will not succeed in controlling the course of history. As mentioned, the world operates according to the unchangeable laws of nature, not the plots of any group. An uplifting aspect of this natural law is that it often supports the weaker party. It favours the smaller group over the socalled larger one. This law is stated in the Quran as follows: “Many a small group, by God’s command has prevailed against a large group.” (2:249). Why does a weaker group outperform a stronger one, and how does the law of nature support them? The answer is that the Creator of nature has endowed every human being with immense potential. Every person is inherently gifted with extraordinary abilities. However, initially, these abilities are in a dormant state. All this high potential exists within a person in a latent form. It is up to the individual to transform this potential into actual reality. The natural law is that this transformation happens under pressure. The more pressure placed on a person or group, the more their hidden talents surface. This is exactly what occurs with sugarcane. As is well known, every sugarcane stalk is full of juice. However, under normal conditions, this juice remains inside. The juice only flows out when subjected to extraordinary pressure. If you place sugarcane in soft cotton, its juice will never emerge. But when you put sugarcane in a crusher, the sweet juice inside is released.
