Physics tells us that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction?

Question

They hate us, we hate them, they hate us back.
And so, here we are, victims of mathematics.

Or is there another way?

Answer 2

Man, Newton's Third Law has been taken out of context so many times it seems a matter of course now. I've said this before and I'll say it again: It's just a physical law, applying specifically to the actions of objects in a physical way; IT IS NOT A PHILOSOPHY

Good Gravy.

Answer 3

I wouldn't just categorize feelings ie love/hate war/peace as mathematics
Is there another way.
yes put the text books away.
If a person is honest the action would be honesty back
the opposite reaction would dishonesty.
I see no math in that

Answer 4

That's interesting....but we are not bound to all the laws that govern material things..because we are spirit, and we can make choices.

This argument reminds me of Philosophy class where a Greek Philosopher made the statement...a person cannot "walk around the stadium" based upon a mathematical principal of fractions. I.E...first you would have to walk 1/2 way, after you walk 1/8 of the way, after you go 1/4 and so on and so on.....Ad Infiniteum..and man's life is Finite...therefore..it is impossible for man to walk around the stadium.
His argument was disproved, when his student calmly walked around the stadium.

Answer 5

You know how the principal behind nuclear reactors is that the reaction itself creates energy, which in turn creates more reactions, which creates more energy? And if it isn't controlled, you get a meltdown?

Yeah. I think hate... and love... work like that. I think someday we will find that emotions - and all thought, for that matter - is a subatomic reaction.

I sound totally batsh!t, don't I? Well... it's just a hypothesis...

Answer 6

~~~LoMo,,,,You are correct in your assertion only on The Physical Plane,,,ie: Physics. Although thoughts and ideas have "form", such as your "hate" example, they are intangible and consequently are not bound by these laws,,,,nor mathematics. We are not "victims of mathematics" but rather victims of our own Ignorance. Until we fully embrace the lessons of the Great Teachers of History who told us that "there is another way" outside of this Duality,,,,,=,,,,"Hate begets hate. Love begets love." In this context,,,some refer to this as Meta-physics ~ Namaste` ~

Answer 7

Cause and effect are not so literal and black and white as you make it out in your question.

It takes a lot of energy to be the one who gets clobered from both sides!!!!!!

The peace maker.

Tough job description. The power of love, and or rational thinking, meet the power of hate with equal or greater force, force in the sense of strength to stay the tide.

We stand fast!!!!Does that not take a kind of power?A greater power? The power of LOVE!!!

Answer 9

Hate is an emotion, a thought, a mind set, a preference... not an action.

Answer 10

" G'Quan wrote, "There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope. The death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender." The future is all around us, waiting in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future, or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born… in pain. "

Answer 11

Sometime there is the ripple effect.
We are not victims of mathematics we are victims of each other.
Jesus is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIGHT.
