Every Action has an Equal and Opposite Reaction!

Hello Readers!

Hope you all are fine and are enjoying this lazy "Sun" day!!

"Every Action has and Equal and Opposite Reaction". True and Apt! You may call it as Newton's third law of motion or the law of Karma. It seems valid for both. Scientifically as quoted by Sir Isaac Newton. So, If you guys know me, I am really not going to talk about science here. Science and me.. you know.. can't go along really well. I will definitely pull this towards my favorite topic of relations, emotions and behavior.

To link it up with Law of Karma, you may think about the quote "as you sow, so shall you reap". We have heard many stories related to this since our childhood. But today I wanted to link this action-reaction thing with something different.

I read a short story somewhere, would love to share it here. There were few elite ladies having dinner in one of finest of the restaurants in France. They were enjoying their dinner with the costliest of Champagne. As we all know, where there are ladies, the gossips and the talks are endless. So, all of them were engrossed in their conversations and praising each others costly dresses and necklace and all other 'n' number of things related to that. All of a sudden, a flying cockroach somehow arrives and it sits on one of the ladies hair, all of them on the table started shouting and this created chaos in that serene environment of the restaurant. Rather than trying to remove that cockroach from her hair, everyone was just shouting about it. After sometime, the waiter arrived, he just silently picked that cockroach, and threw it outside the restaurant. He was very calm and composed and did what was required to solve the problem. So, everything in few minutes went back to normal. People continued enjoying their dinner and went back in their talks.

So, this incident or story if you may call it, made me just ponder over the "reaction" of both - the ladies and the waiter. The situation or the problem i.e. the cockroach was same. The difference was in the reaction which was taken by the other person. And reactions of both were almost opposite. Whereas the reaction of the ladies created chaos, the reaction of the waiter pacified the situation and the people. Hence its pretty simple, its our reaction to the things that make the difference. That is why, even after facing similar problems, some people rise against all odds and some still remain in the vicious circle of problems.

Let us just think a little before reacting to the situations around us. Might help us in solving most of the concerns which we have in life! God bless you !! Take Care! Ciao!

P.S. I am scared of cockroaches too, might have also shouted. It is easy to say things rather than doing it!! :P
