Newton's Third Law, (semi-)applied to life.

Sometimes life is not as simple as it seems. A delicate balance of relationships. People to people, potential energy and kinetic energy, light and darkness, acid and alkali whatever. You get the picture.
-
Finding the equilibrium is not easy, when you're the one in the picture. It's not like things tend to balance themselves automatically. Without one's micromanagement, things would spiral out of control. Simple and common as it may seem, but in reality, it's the direct opposite.

How do we juggle 5 balls at once? Practice, experience, hard work.
Juggling, well, is more of a one sided affair, the balls won't juggle you back, if you get what i mean. In simpler terms, we have complete control of where the balls will flying around, landing and whatsoever.
-
Life follows part of Newton's Third Law "to every action there is and reaction" (rephrased in my own words), but not the part where it says "of the same magnitude at opposite directions" (my own words too). The magnitude of our actions, is not even predictable at all. The direction of it? Bleh! Don't bother.
-
To the main point of the day, how do we juggle relationships with the people around you, keeping everyone (including yourself) content?
How do we decide on which path to take?
And later, how do we deal with such consequences (reactions). It doesn't matter if it's positive or negative. At the end of the day, we'll have to face it anyway.In years to come, it may come back to haunt us.
What do we do when it happens then? We can't be an a-hole, ignoring the fact that we acted so-and-so during that time.

It's a zillion times more complicated than Spore(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spore_video_game)
Life is so complicated, maybe it's not worth the time to even ponder at all. Just live it, fire and forget. Well, just, don't bother too much. Savour every moment.
And most importantly,
1. Every decision we make is the best for us,
2. No matter how bad it seems when you think about the past, see number 1.
