Newton's 3rd Law Thu, Nov 10, 2016

Isaac Newton's 3rd Law of Motion says that for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. With this principle in mind, the only good thing about fear and hatred and exclusion is the equal (and oftentimes, greater) reaction of love and hope and inclusion. For every bit of negativity, fear mongering and hate of "the other", there is always a louder outpouring of love and acceptance and optimism...the saving grace that is the equal and opposite reaction.

If you're unfamiliar with StoryPeople, you're definitely missing out. Brian Andreas is an author and illustrator who creates fun, abstract, whimsical drawings that he pairs with thoughtful sentiments. I subscribe to his newsletter and I get one of these joyful messages in my inbox every morning. Two in particular are striking a chord with me today as I write this, and I wanted to pass it along in case it might resonate with you, too.
