If it can't resist then it must abide.
"Abide" has nothing to do with human psychology in this case.
Even though it is also possible for humans to "abide" in a different way.
Oh, I know what you mean. I'm questioning that what it means matches what you mean. I'm sure you're comfortable saying that rocks abide by the laws of nature, and I know what you mean when you say it. I even agree with what you mean. I just can't bring myself to agree with what you're saying because I don't think what you're saying is true.
If you told me that rocks are unhappy based on the argument that "unhappy" means "not happy", I'd understand what you mean by "rocks are unhappy," but I wouldn't for a second accept your argument and agree with you, even though I would agree that rocks are not happy.
