Balancing act....

Lets start this write-up with Newton's third law, that is:

The mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear. This means that whenever a first body exerts a force F on a second body, the second body exerts a force −F on the first body. F and −F are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. This law is sometimes referred to as the action-reaction law, with F called the "action" and −F the "reaction".

Simply put, "Every action has a equal and opposite reaction".

Over a period of time I have started sensing that it is just not a "Physical force" or a "Physical action" that follows this law but "Actions" in general follow this. It can be termed by different people differently like "after happiness there is sadness, after night there is day, your good deeds will pay back, God has an account of all right and wrong that will determine if we will be heaven or hell, etc". I strongly feel that one does not need to wait till death to close his accounts of deeds. Just like the way there is a balance sheet where you need to balance your assets and liabilities, there is some force around each one of us that maintains a balance sheet of your deeds.

Another analogy that I could think of relating with my Interiors Background is that of "Symmetry". Symmetry is the ordering principle in nature that represents the center of balance between two or more opposing sides. There are three types of symmetry (rather many types, but fundamentally three types):

1) Translation symmetry
2) Reflection symmetry
3) Rotational symmetry

Your deeds are more like reflection symmetry. Every deed you perform will have a reflection in some form nor the other. Sometimes, a correlation pattern can be clearly observed and hence you as a human will tend to relate it but sometimes it is just so abstract that one cannot really relate to it. But it is surely balanced always!

Many of my recent life incidences assert this fact!
