CAUSE AND EFFECT

A few days ago, I've learnt something very important. It has been long since I understood the whole cause and effect theory. How many of you know this theory? It is based on the Newton's 3rd Law. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. In other words, cause and effect. If you bounce a ball, the ball will bounce down and up again. If you move a spider web at the centre, the whole web will be affected.

Newton the man.....

How is it relevant to real life? I believe that any action that we do will cause something. Sometimes we only think about the reaction that will happen to us but we do not think about the reaction that will happen to other people. Hmm the whole web of life thingy. Any decisions or actions we take will indeed affect others.

I was reminded by the book "Five People You will Meet in Heaven", there is a line that goes. All are affected as our stories are one (paraphased haha). I believe that we need to sometimes think of our actions.
