opposite reaction? If you do good, something good will happen to you? That you reap what you sow? These are some of the expressions we have heard before. What goes around comes around. What do you think about them? Do You have any experiences in life where they applied?

I'm pretty sure the first one only applies to physics =). But, as for having things coming around, I think it's true to a small extent. If you've shown to be a nice person who helps other people out, the people around you might regard you to be a better person than others, and treat you nicer. Everyone treats each person differently. Your personality and your actions define who you are to others, and in turn, they reflect that personality back to you. It's like a mirror of sorts. On the other hand, if you're a nasty person, people will like you less and try to avoid you.

I know the first one applies to physics, but I was trying to get people to see how it could apply to life. Basically somethings you do (your actions) could have an adverse effect on something else. Thanks for responding

Hi! Yes. I believe in that. "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" is a law of physics. It manifests in every way. We breathe in, we breathe out. We sit (push down), whatever we're sitting on pushes up. We give, we receive.

Oh, sorry about the above, about the law of physics thing. When I started writing down my response, the answer above wasn't there yet.

That is okay, I see you realize the point I was trying to make. As I said above, people's actions can sometimes have negative or opposite effects on someone else. I saying it in relation to human actions. thanks for responding.

Well,I don't know if this apply to human life but I think in Physics it definitely applicable.. I have heard this kind of expression and belief many time already but somehow I don't experienced it.. Oh well, maybe I experienced it but I just didn't mind it.. I don't know if that is true but I think it is good to have this kind of belief in life so that people will be afraid to do evil things to others and for them selves..

yes i do believe in this, others call it karma. What ever you do, good or bad there is always an equal reaction. But I also believe that if you do good things you should really do it because you want to help and not because you're expecting something good in return. Good karma will happen in due time.
