Surfriding also carries enough built-in danger to give one a healthy respect for those beautiful waves. They can strike back, sometimes with death-dealing force, if the rider commits too great an error, becomes careless in the judgment of their hidden power. So it is in dealing with our fellow men. That same principle also applies to our life: Respect the rules and guidelines and enjoy the ride; disrespect the inner natural or godly power of anything and reap sorrow and pain in like measure.
