The world is not ownerless

The world is not ownerless

There is a higher providence in the world. Or: there is order in the world and not everyone does as they please.

("Let them contemplate the mercies of the Lord, that the world is not ownerless, but everything is by His grace and providence" – Malbim, Psalms 107:43. Also: "With a strong hand we deal: snatch and do what is in your heart... but this is not honest, for then the reins are loosened and the world is ownerless" – Mendele Mocher Sfarim, Travels of Benjamin the Third 13, 97. Also: "And although everyone knows the truth, there is some benefit in this denial, so they will see that the world is not ownerless" – Agnon, Only Yesterday, 41)
