For every action

We reap the fruit of whatever we plant

Michael J Fox, a Canadian activist and actor once said “Everything is cause and effect. If you don’t move, nothing will move you and nothing will move toward you.”

Isaac Newton’s third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that everything we do will always have a consequence. While this concept is pretty familiar to all of us, there are certain dimensions to it that we may often fail to consider in our daily lives.

One such dimension is the fact that while all of our actions do have consequences, the effects of the consequences may not always be experienced by the individual who caused them. For example, take issues like climate change, discrimination or poverty. While it is impossible to blame a single person as the reason behind these issues, it is true that everyone experiences the effects that they cause in our world.
