Third law: When a first body exerts a force F1 on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force F2 = ?F1 on the first body. This means that F1 and F2 are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

However, if slowly take away what people need, you may end up controlling the people with little to no struggle.

It is far better to have a willing populous that a fighting one.
