Every action has got equal and oppsite reaction. Almost every body knows this is Newton's third law of motion.But in case of human being if you do some good to others most of the time you get reverse result from them.But still we should have faith in human being and enjoy doing good to other!Your view please.: what:oops indifferent

The analogy doesn't even apply here.

If a good action doesn't receive a good response that doesn't mean that no action happened. I would think that is a person's ego making them believe the action is then wasted. We cannot control others lives. If my good action is not timely for someone else or not what they feel they need or whatever, I have to accept that they know what they need and move on to someone who is in need of my goodness.

Hummmm guess if one is only giving for how they expect it to turn out they may be giving for all the wrong reasons....Different people react different ways...and not as we always expect them to...whoa

I heard something, long ago.
And it seemed like sound advice.
It was "Never go through life reacting
to things.
Act instead."

This way you are not so dependent upon the
response from others.

One of the best things I've learned years ago when I read the book of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Be proactive.

..as you said ..for every action there is a reaction it didn't say anything about whether you would like the reaction or not..and even tho the reaction was not what you was expecting ..it was a reaction nonetheless..reverse but still


..as far as being good to others there is never anything wrong in that just don't expect it in return that way you're least likely to be disappointed..

..there is nothing wrong in having good morals ..so few do ..

..the best thing one can do to protect a kind heart is to choose one's friends wisely,and try to keep with people who have the same moral standards that they do...jmo..smokin

I think Newton intended it to be more directed at objects in motion such as a ball or something else insignificant. Deeds good or bad have really relatively nothing to do with physics, good deeds go unnoticed daily and bad deeds unpunished daily...but that really has nothing to do with Newton's laws of motion because the laws of motion have nothing to do with man's reasoning.

Yes,you are absolutely right,Newton's laws of motion deals with mass(non-living object).My intention was not to discuss Newton's law rather to get the idea of the dogma "Even after being cheated we should not lose faith in human being". Otherwise life would be difficult.:thumbsup:

Most of the time, at least in my life, things seem more reciprocal. Generally if I do something nice, it's returned in kind. Try acting like a complete jerk to everyone and see how many repay you with kindness.

Some people just suck and cheat. But if you were mean and nasty to them...they'd probably still cheat and at that point I couldn't blame them.

I totally agree, one time when i used to work at a grocery store here this lady out in the parking lot couldn't start her car so i offered to jump start it for her, so i went to my trunk got my cables out and guess what?.... i slammed my damn hand in the trunk..yes i did. But i still jump started her car for her anyways, and then went to the hospital all i got was a broke hand and a $800 medical bill, sweet huh?
