does that mean for every good thing we do, someone else does something bad?

Newton was talking about physical actions. Of course a lot of people believe in Karma...

Bad things happen to everyone dear.  Because there is sin in the world and life isn't perfect. If nothing bad ever happened to us, we wouldn't appreciate when things are good.  Just remember to be thankful for what you have. :)

Good and bad are such relative terms. Comparatively if they behave in such a way that's so bad like they enjoy killing and tormenting children or so good like they give away all thier possessions to feed the homeless you can be tipped off. But on a regular day to day nothing is ever as obvious. You gotta check some of your own standards. Do you notice if they act more good than bad in every day situations?

I believe this is in the eye of the beholder.  Some might say a good man is giving and caring.  Some may say a good man is a good father.  Some may say a good man is good in bed.  I think the definition of a man is determined internally.  When I die I can determine if I was a good man.  Am I satisfied with what I have accomplished.

It's not a bad thing. I'm kinda the same way. We really aren't supposed to make our good deeds known. And the word tells us to basically go into a closet and pray. I think your just fine. God Bless!

You are a good, no make that wonderful, person as long as you do not hurt another, physically, mentally, or emotionally.  I don't think any particular music makes someone "bad".

Imho, definitely yes. If you observe carefully, everything that ever happens, no matter how insignificant, bad, etc, will lead to different situations. It may seem bad at the moment, but later on you will be able to see that there is a reason why the 'bad' stuff happened.\n\n"Instead of asking, "Why Me, God?",\nI say, "Thank you, God."\nThen I wait until all the evidence rolls in."

It's pretty sad when every good deed is being scrutinized and analyzed for ulterior motives.  No wonder that no one wants to help anyone else just to be nice.

This phrase could mean anything and it could be used in anything.\n\nIt doesn't necessarily have anything to do with being morally bankrupt.\n\nMy Mom used it frequently when teaching us about responsibility.

DO NOT TALK ABOUT THE GOOD THINGS THAT YOU DID FOR OTHERS AND FORGET ABOUT THE BAD THINGS OTHERS HAVE DONE TO U

Karma is action, reaction. However it is also very personal and singular. What is bad karma for me, may not be for you. Since each person has their own life, and their own personality. There are of course several things that are always destine to give bad karma. Killing other living things springs to mind. Remember that anything negative can bring negative karma, so dependent on your reasoning for the divorce it could bring bad karma, or good.

There is one thing you can be sure of.... that is that every thing changes. It's the law of the universe! So if things are going bad, just ride it out because it has to change. And if things are going good, suck up every moment and enjoy. You have to have the bad to appreciate the good!

Doing nice things for other people.  It's called karma, baby. :-)

Bad things happen to everyone. It's just that when a person does nothing but good themselves, there is more of a stark contrast when something bad happens.\n\nPeople who do bad things don't usually have much self-respect and don't appreciate anyone else. They just assume that everyone is like them and so the bad things seem like 'normal'.\n\nOn the other hand, truly good people don't expect that others are anything but good. That's why being mugged or being cut off on the freeway is that much harder to accept.\n\nIf, on the other hand, God does exist in any form, he/she/it would probably do well to let us be. It's time that the sheep, who are now adults, bear the full responsibility of their actions. Some people say that God moves in mysterious ways. I posit that God moved 'town' under suspicious circumstances.\n\nHave you not heard of that madman who lit a lantern in the bright morning hours, ran to the market-place, and cried incessantly: "I am looking for God! I am looking for God!"\n\nAs many of those who did not believe in God were standing together there, he excited considerable laughter. Have you lost him, then? said one. Did he lose his way like a child? said another. Or is he hiding? Is he afraid of us? Has he gone on a voyage? or emigrated? Thus they shouted and laughed. The madman sprang into their midst and pierced them with his glances.\n\n"Where has God gone?" he cried. "I shall tell you. We have killed him - you and I. We are his murderers. But how have we done this? How were we able to drink up the sea? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon? What did we do when we unchained the earth from its sun? Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving now? Away from all suns? Are we not perpetually falling? Backward, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there any up or down left? Are we not straying as through an infinite nothing? Do we not feel the breath of empty space? Has it not become colder? Is it not more and more night coming on all the time? Must not lanterns be lit in the morning? Do we not hear anything yet of the noise of the gravediggers who are burying God? Do we not smell anything yet of God's decomposition? Gods too decompose. God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we, murderers of all murderers, console ourselves? That which was the holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet possessed has bled to death under our knives. Who will wipe this blood off us? With what water could we purify ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we not ourselves become gods simply to be worthy of it? There has never been a greater deed; and whosoever shall be born after us - for the sake of this deed he shall be part of a higher history than all history hitherto."\n\nHere the madman fell silent and again regarded his listeners; and they too were silent and stared at him in astonishment. At last he threw his lantern to the ground, and it broke and went out. "I have come too early," he said then; "my time has not come yet. The tremendous event is still on its way, still travelling - it has not yet reached the ears of men. Lightning and thunder require time, the light of the stars requires time, deeds require time even after they are done, before they can be seen and heard. This deed is still more distant from them than the distant stars - and yet they have done it themselves."\n\nIt has been further related that on that same day the madman entered divers churches and there sang a requiem. Led out and quietened, he is said to have retorted each time: "what are these churches now if they are not the tombs and sepulchres of God?"

Why is it that when everything has been going bad, something GOOD happens?\n\nBecause we are all starting from imperfection and zero experience.  And there are temptations and pitfalls that accrue from not heeding the true basic tenets handed down over the ages, just about everywhere (including different cultures and religions).\n\nLife is a struggle, we have to team up and cope with the challenges.  There will be some disappointments along the way, you cannot control what others do, only yourself, and even yourself not always...\n\nAll the most needed things are free.  As for those things that require effort or money, be satisfied with what you really need as opposed to what you want.\n\nEven when we are old we must continually remind ourselves about this.  \n\nYou see some people who are unbelievably wealthy and unbelievably UNHAPPY and may even do crimes because they WANT SO MUCH, they are never satisfied.  Also, comes from living too much for ONESELF and not enough for others, helping others, working with others, sharing with others.\n\nHappiness is doing what is right and being satisfied with it, even when the surroundings are messy, all $%^#$&^^ up.\n\nIt is possible for heaven on earth if you think about this.  Meanwhile, you can have heaven in your own little spot, for sure.  There are ups and downs for everyone, even perfect visitors.

Unfortunately, yes.  Good and Evil are human attributes, so an evil person is one of us, as much as we'd like to disown him.

Each of us are judged on what we did with the time, health and wealth that God blessed us with. If we had a hand in harming our environment, we will be judged accordingly, and if we did our best to help our environment, we will be judged accordingly. No one will have to worry about being held accountable for another's sins, and no one but you can account for your own self.
