The way is the law, and those who act according to the law are gods. The shock of this statement lies in its revelation of the underlying logic of all destinies. What is the law? Being overweight is the result of eating bite by bite, knowledge is acquired bit by bit, and tall buildings do not appear out of thin air; they are built brick by brick. Humans are the same; your appearance today is the accumulation of all past moments, and your future self is the sum of every action taken in the present. This is the law: all shortcuts are detours. What is the future? The future is the sum of the present; every hour you waste, every instance of procrastination, perfunctoriness, or avoidance will ultimately come back to haunt you in the future. The laziness you indulge in now will become a wall in the future, trapping you outside.
