The world was created by an explosion of Energy. Isaac Newton's third law of motion states that every action will have an equal and opposite reaction.
As scientists try to make some sense of how the Universe works, witches have known its secrets for millenniums.
You must have heard of the Chaos theory, where a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil we get a hurricane of the coast of Florida. The key to this phenomenon is the energy that changes form. The flapping wing represents a small change in the initial condition of the system, which causes a chain of events leading to large-scale alterations of events.
Through this example, we can see how nature is affected by our actions. Many times we are not aware of our intentions on a global scale, but most people believe that the all of mankind's intentions fuel the weather systems all over the world.
As our actions destroy rainforests, create pollution that destroys our protective ozone layer which warms our ice fields and produces weather changes that destroy us or makes our life miserable, we can also change life's direction in a similar manner.
We all know that for every action there will be a reaction. Life is self sustaining and will do everything to recover its balance. If we destroy something, something in our life will get destroyed as a result.
This is why people believe that revenge curses can backfire.
We all know that loving our enemy produces beneficial results when compared to hating them. Hate is like a poison that WE ingest, hoping that the person we hate will die of it. Will they? No, because we took that poison, remember?
So hatred towards others slowly kills US! Wars we create kill our children in large numbers too! Destroying trees will create soil erosion that destroys our home or land. Killing large numbers of animals for food will reduce our food supply until we perish ourselves.
Over farming will reduce the fertility of land and eventually chase us from the very land that we abused. Polluting our waters will lead to our own food supply (the fish) dwindling along with all vegetation that is fed by the polluted waters.
As we can see, Nature sustains itself by taking care of the damages immediately. In our lifetime, we have seen rainforests destroyed and average temperatures rise and as a result more hurricanes created and more lives lost.
How many times does nature have to prove that the Three-fold law makes good sense? Have we ever hurt someone or something and gotten away with it? I doubt it.
The colonial rulers tried to invade pristine and wise lands such as India and Africa and destroy the civilizations there. Well, the people who went to these lands either went back to their countries or got assimilated into the culture of these lands.
Native Americans were killed by the "Pilgrims" and their children forcibly converted to Christianity. In fact, many of the proud tribes now live in reservations, controlled and restricted by the US government.
And I wonder why US is in the state it is in now. People have lost jobs, prices are skyrocketing and people are losing their homes and savings. Hope is not anywhere to be found.
