Wisdom for Living a Balanced Life

Translation from the Teachings from the Huainanzi
The actions of humanity also affect the natural world. When there is lots of killing, gales, and tornadoes will appear. When power is misused, locusts and other harmful insects will multiply. When innocent people are killed, there will be drought. When there is injustice, there will be floods and rainstorms. Therefore, spring, summer, autumn, and winter are the enforcers of celestial judgement. The sun and the moon are celestial messengers, the conjunction of stars and planets signifies a gathering of celestial power, and rainbows and shooting stars are omens.
