I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.God warns Moses that, if the people do not keep his commandments, God will punish them in a variety of ways.
~ King James version ~
Life flows as life flows. Tao metes out no punishments. If we suffer, it is our own doing.
~ possible Taoist alternative ~
Humankind creates our misery. When we turn our backs on our internal natures and we allow desire to push us away from harmony, we suffer because of our own thoughts and actions. Tao plays no part.
