Every Action has an equal and opposite reaction.
If you walk up to someone and slap them in the face, you're probably going to get a reaction of being knocked down or worse..shot. That's an equal reaction.
But as Christians we are told to turn the other cheek, or even further to love those who hate you. This is an opposite reaction. And this reaction has a better result than the negative one. A positive undoes a negative.
Even in math, if you have a negative number, and you add a positive, the negative becomes more to the positive.
If you hide your light under a bushel, no one can see it, but if you bring your light into the darkest room it will become light. Darkness is overcome by the smallest amount of light. So we need to shine our light in the darkness and overcome it. Our positive influence can overcome the negative influences in the world. And it's up to each individual to do their part. Together we have the capability of eliminating the darkness by shining our light in the world.
