What does whatever is is right mean?

What is your opinion of the doctrine of Whatever is is right?

If your question refers to the operation and results of natural laws, I answer you thus—If a house should fall, burying in its ruins men, women and children, it is right—quite right. If a huge volcano should burst out unexpectedly, and its blasting molten waves rush down in hot haste, and bury a city with all its inhabitants, it is right. If a great tidal wave of old ocean should rise, and in its overwhelming course work devastation and death over hundreds of miles of land, it is right. 

I say it is right. 

The upheaved water must go somewhere, and if thrown on low-lying land, over that land it must go before it returns to its natural bed. Men must learn to make provision for such occurrences—and they do learn. 

Again, in the case of the volcanic eruption, it is hard to say what might have taken place had there been no fiery deluge—instead of a city with its thousands, you might have had the cities of an entire country laid in ruins by earthquakes and hundreds of thousands of lives destroyed.

Nature must relieve herself of those gases generated within the crust of the globe, and men must learn to avoid erecting cities in the neighbourhood of Nature's safety-valves. They have no right to build over these air-holes. 

Then again, in the case of a house falling, there must be a cause—something wrong in the construction of that house. The stones may have been bad or the timbers insufficient.

Do not blame Nature—man alone is to blame. 

If men will not acquire wisdom, they must just stand the consequences of their ignorance or thoughtlessness. 

They must lay no blame on the laws of God—these are right and can never be otherwise—all must submit to them. 

But the doctrine of Whatever is is right is not true in moral law. 

A man kills his neighbour—that is not right. Heaven's law is that man should live to a certain age, and anything that cuts short his natural term of life is an infringement of law. 

He that made the law never intended that it should be broken. No one has a right to shorten his own or another's life. In all nations, even the most barbarous, laws have been laid down for the preservation of life.

I would say even in the case of the callous wretch that sheds innocent blood, let him live, but keep him in close confinement. By adopting this course, such a one is not only greatly punished, but at the same time, he gets a chance of regaining his character, becoming fitted for entering into spirit, but hurled into it red-handed, thrust headlong into the lowermost depths, and thence into the society of devils, he, also, in course of time becomes a devil, and in turn instigates others to murder and bloodshed on earth. 

No—I would say keep him in confinement and compel him to labour for the support of the hapless widow and children of his victim.
