We Live in a Pond

Posted by Tony Villari April 24, 2018 - #Relationships #Actions #selfishness #Consequences #choices #decisions #Ripples #pond #effects #repercussions #considerations - 815 views

I have always tried to explain to young people the idea that we all live in the same social pond. Every decision we make in life has an effect on that pond, like a pebble thrown into it causing a ripple. Every ripple can be viewed as an action taken, a choice or decision, and for every action, as we all know from physics, there is a reaction.

To read more of “My Sunday Thought” concerning pond ripple activity (yawn), try not to rock the boat while you follow the attached link: We Live in a Pond
