Newton and Mind

See, even Calvin knows Newton's laws:-). Newton's first law of motion says "Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it". This is also called "Law of Inertia" .

It occurred to me that this law applies to our mind as well. Here is how..

Let's say we are used to a specific way of thinking, when we interact with some one or read some book it may create a new way of thinking. Isn't that so?

Now, external ( or internal?) force is always applied to our life whether we like it or not. It could be people, situations, circumstances around us. Pleasant and not so plesant surprises Life throws at us or throws us into. All these are probably changing the course of the mind and the direction, shaping it for facing yet another Life's challenge. 'Accelerate' Life that is.

Alright,so much for scribbling my thoughts. I am sure I did better than Calvin though :-) More later.
