    Belated but colourful all the same.

    Astrid is always saying “action and reaction.” HA! That’s normal to her, she says. :) I love it.

    I accept your Newton and offer you (one version) of Le Chatelier’s Principle: “Try to impose a change on the system and the system will oppose the change”. He was talking about chemical systems at equilibrium, and of course Newton was talking of simple physics, and yet both revealed more general truths.

      “Try to impose a change on the system and the system will oppose the change”

      That also is true in relation to imposing changes on people. At work, in social groups or in wider society.

      The general truths are interesting to explore.
