For every action there is an equal and opposite REaction.

Drop a pebble in a pond, And watch the many ripples, Caused from just that one small act, A thing that seemed so simple. And yet if you will sit and watch, You'll see them grow in number, Getting larger all the while, One following another. Life is very much like that, Each act begets another, And each and every thing you do, Affects you through your brothers. For there's a price for everything. Nothing comes for free. Make sure before you drop the rock, That you won't mind the fee.

Your impactful reasoning made me stop and think, Judy. One little act of kindness could leave bigger results ... one bad act can do the same, but in an opposite way! ~ Blessings // paul

I heard it said when a butterfly flaps it wings, its affect is felt around the world. I am not so sure about that statement but it put me to thinking. The statement that goes if you can't say anything kind don't say anything at all still holds true. Your visit to my page was enlightening. Sara

Dropping to one’s knees may prevent a tsunami. Better to stop before a ripple. Great, Judy! Blessings!

So deep in argument. One good thing lads to another. Alas the reverse is also true. We must thrive for the sublime.
