That’s Principle NOT Principal. A principal is the head administrator of a school, we’re not going to discuss anything about those here. A Principle is a foundational law, sometimes called a Natural Law of the Universe, upon which the order and function of things is based. Gravity is an example of a Principle. No matter who you are or where you go in the universe if you jump off a building you are going to fall toward the largest body in the vicinity. Here on earth that just happens to be the earth. It happens all the time in every circumstance. Can you create some device to fight that? Sure you could have a rocket pack or a glider and avoid falling for a little while. But even then most devices that man has created to stop the falling in it’s very function requires and or utilizes gravity to allow them to function properly. Principles are that way, unchanging no matter the locality, time, or people involved. Principles provide a consistent result every time. They allow us to build Massive buildings, Because engineers follow principles that allow them to know and predict how the materials in the building will react in any given situation. Without those principles we would have buildings falling down around us everyday. Because those principles are followed we can live in our homes, or work in commercial buildings that tend to remain standing for years and years. Because principles allow consistent results, if we build our lives consistently searching for principles to build our lives around (Financial, Spiritual, Relational, etc) then we can anticipate a consistent result. This brings peace of mind and love of life.
