Between Theory and Practice

When we read about the law of three and the law of seven, it sounds like an exact science, but we are somewhere between theory and practice. We see that the lines of events and actions can actually be known, calculated, planned for in advance. When we observe our inner world and our life in the external world, it is not easy to find this exactness. Nothing seems to follow a straight line. The motives and end results, the endings and beginnings of our actions are unclear.
