THE TABLE (by Chaplain Donnel)
A strong base, or foundation, is absolutely crucial for the stability and longevity of any structure, whether it's a building, or a human body, or a table. A good base provides essential support by distributing weight evenly and resisting forces like gravity, wind, and earthquakes, preventing damage and ensuring the structure stands strong and upright.

These are legs of a table. A lot of legs like this - that are evenly spaced under the table - is good. It is well balanced. It can carry weight.
But if you start taking out one or two or three legs, leaving behind a few, then the balance of the structure starts to become compromised. Now, it is very vulnerable to falling over.
So, having as many legs - as you are able to place under it - is good design. It keeps the table upright.
Strong legs and a strong base creates balance. It keeps us upright.
