In A World of No Consequences

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, so says Newton's third law. But that's physics. In life, it's slightly modified: To every  action, there is a reaction or consequence. This reaction may be like, unlike, or irrelevant to the action. You slap your friend, he slaps you back. You go out of your way to help someone you have a crush on, he/she wonders what the hell is going on. And even if you do not move when someone is about to throw a snowball at you, you still gave a reaction; your reaction was to ignore that buffoon.
Imagine a world where consequences do not occur. There is no reaction to any action. Wouldn't this world be frozen in time? The 2nd minute of an hour comes because the 1st minute has passed. So the arrival of the 2nd minute is a reaction to the 1st minute passing by. So this event cannot occur in a world of no consequences, and time stops. But then it's not much fun to be in such a world....hmmm.... Ok, just for the fun of it let's pardon time and Newton's 3rd law. Time flows by as usual and there are only reactions to material actions. You push a wall, it shows resistance, but you kick someone in the bum, he shows no anger, pain, anything. He only falls flat on receiving the kick. What would you do in such a place? The possibilities are really enticing :D. You could get back at all the people who annoyed you, travel to any part of the world for free, get a Lambhorghini, a private plane, buy a mansion, get a supercomputer that takes care of the whole mansion and all other stuff you own(like in the movie Iron Man), go to Las Vegas and crap yourself out, see what it's like to shoot a bazooka, or drive a submarine, check all the restricted military areas of the world to see if there ever really was a genuine alien activity that was hushed up, go to space on Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic.....

My 1st Post...

How do you start a blog? What are the first words you write to get the flow going? I searched around the internet for some inspiration, but google-search only seems to pop up with well-established blogs and bloggers, not beginners like me. I even went to sites like wikihow.com but they were too general. So I think I'll just do it freestyle....
This blog, as it says above, is my little online notebook for my random thoughts, or 'revelations' if you will, that I have during some of the quiet moments of the day (and night). Originally I had thought of making this blog a sincere, thoughtful one (which is evident from the innocent-looking title, 'The Pensieve'). Afterwards I realised that this would not reflect my true personality and it would be constricting my methods of relating with potential readers. Noticed the use of the word 'potential'?...hmmm....No, I couldn't resist adding microscopic doses of sly humour, satire and some craziness as well.
And then........................................I guess that's all I have to say....Ok, roll the cameras!
