Equal and Opposite Reaction

“That there are no random acts. That we are all connected.”

I believe that this quote has many different meanings. To some people it may mean what goes around comes around. To others, everything happens for a reason. For me, it’s a little bit of both. I like to look at it from Sir Isaac Newton’s point of view. “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” ~ Newton’s Third Law. For instance, if you don’t do your home work, you get a bad grade, get in trouble, then it just snowballs from there. Another example is, let’s say your friend is at home alone with a cold. You decide to bring them homemade soup and watch movies to cheer them up. In return, she gets better sooner, and you both go on living life. All in all, bad decisions have bad results. Same goes for good choices. The soup scenario also fits with the statement that everything happens for a reason. If you hadn’t brought them the soup, she probably would not have gotten well so soon. That is what that quote means to me.
