Newton's Third Law Applies to Aaron and Myself

Not the best. Very rushed. -But- I had to come up with something to justify as an answer to my teacher's question.

Prompt: Describe a scenario in your personal life that Newton's 3rd law ("Forces travel in pairs and are equal and opposite.") brings insight. It could be centered around sports or driving or anything else. What if Newton's 3rd Law didn't work? Give an example of how something in your extracurricular life might be different?

My Response: Newton's Third Law applies to me in a very specific way: beating up one of my best friends, Aaron. Him and I have a very odd relationship. He is verbally abusive and I am physically abusive. With every comment he makes about me (i.e. "I hope you die before your wedding.") there is an equal beatdown. (I.e. Aaron was smashed into a window.) Although the outcomes are different, the level of intensity are the same. Or should I say, their 'force' is the same.

At the same time, if Newton's Third Law didn't work, then his constant verbal abuse would be responded with an innocent smile from myself. This would ultimately result in the constant trampling of my spirit from him. Also, it would lead to less bruises on his body, which I just can't have.
