Actions are irrelevant, only our re-actions matter...?

Question

could this be so?

let me trifle a bit..

'd_cider1' you punching me,, would it not be due to some impulse, (ie:my putting forward some seemingly foolish concept)
or whatever else it may be.

I wont elaborate more, you see where I am going with this,(to the begining of eternity with the 'first' and 'only' action .. of god )

second, after or during your vicious attack , is my reaction not more important than your patheticness,
what if I run and hide,
what if i sit and inhale your barage,
OR
what if I reacted in kind and took off your head with one high kick ?

you see, your action (which was a reaction anyway) is but one thing, .. my reaction is many, and determines the future.

reactions create the future.


this as with all concepts, is of no true meaning to the world, but its just a thought?

what do you think?

Answer 1

Other than the unknown, original, first-ever action, all action IS reaction.

Answer 2

Action or reactions....... what are more important are the type of actions and the reactions they invoke. Even the so called "dumb" nature reacts when the foolish humans ct down the trees and wipe out forests. Nature changes its climate and moves away! Good action and good reaction.. it is as simple as this.

If you are presuming that some are "reacting ' without any action on your part , it may be that someone else acted and the reaction is being diverted towards you. This is the most common case in the world , now. For example , the whole of Iraq and its people should be wondered what action they did in order to draw the wrath of the USA and the UK to bring so much of misery on them. The reaction of America was due to the action of one dictator , may be. See what I mean?

I believe , whatever the provocation , if a human can control his/her reaction the world will avery major calamities.

Answer 3

No

Reactions do not exist without actions.
Therefore the value of an action is the value of the reatcion plus whatever initial value the action had.

It could be argued, however, that there was only one true action, and that everything following is a reaction.

Answer 4

Actually, beyond philosophy there are no such things as actions. It has been realized by a very rare few that so-called "actions" are condition response to energy frequencies or fields of consciousness.

Thus life is an entire automatic event and not a series of the minds sequential viewing.

Answer 5

This could very well be so, the second half of the (correct me if I error) 2nd law of thermodynamics is an absolute. Such as payback is hell. Counterpunching is usually very effective, it's as if the progenator of action forgets the inevitable rebound. It's the cause of global warming, the enviromental response could spell extinction for many creatures. The response to action resulted in the nuking of cities in WW2. You could be very right about that. Good question.

Answer 6

Action and reaction is a pair. None can exist without the other. Like cause and effect which is essentially the same.

Actions are as imortant as the effects or reactions. But then..... the rection itself becomes an action in turn and so ad infinitum........

Answer 7

What you must first understand about that statement is in which direction the wisdom is directed.

You had no control over the action. It is this reason why it is irrelevant. What you DO have control over is your re-action. It is relevant because YOU have control over it, not someone else. For this reason, I believe that "it is so."

It is similar to "Take the log out of your own eye, before you take the splinter out of another."

Answer 8

Action is driven by original thought/creativity. Reaction is driven by the action of others. In my opinion, action would be the most relevant.

Answer 9

reacting is the opposite of planning, so i think the first part of your statement is incorrect. [planned] actions are relevant because without them, there would be no reactions

Answer 10

Allow me to punch you repeatedly in the face.

Would your reaction negate my action?

Does this make my punching you in the face, repeatedly ,irrelevant?

It is to ponder.
