What does anything
anyone does matter? The answer is
simply, everything.
I’ve
recently thought about this concept and how it relates to everything in the world. If
this is the first time you’ve heard about this, think of the phrases- chain
reaction, avalanche effect, chaos theory, and snowball effect and you’ll begin to get the
idea.
As a
society, we’re so not in tune with our actions and the implications they
cause. Mostly because we’re only consumed
with ourselves, that we barely take the care to give a rat’s ass about other beings,
things, or creatures.
I find the quote
below interesting. It shows the
relevance of how one simple, natural motion can perpetuate a chain reaction of
immeasurable proportions.
“This is an illustration of the
butterfly effect - the idea in meteorology that the flapping of a butterfly's
wing will create a disturbance that in the chaotic motion of the atmosphere
will become amplified eventually to change the large scale atmospheric motion,
so that the long term behavior becomes impossible to forecast” Quoted by R.C.Hilborn (Oxford Uni-versity
Press, 1994).
So, if we alter
the natural course of life, in a very small, seemingly insignificant way, are we altering everything in the
world that was meant to naturally occur in the future? I believe we are.
Our actions
and choices are shaping the future at an exponential pace. The further we continue to destroy the minutest things we encounter, the less
we’ll be able to understand how to forecast the future.

Good post. And I won't lie, anything that reminds me of a Journey song is AWESOME! (Journey has a song titled "Chain Reaction" on their Frontiers album. Just a side note).
This concept keeps coming up everywhere I look. It was a major point in Augusten Burrough's latest book which I just finished. And I remember a quote from years ago that went something like, "even the smallest act is monumental." And btw Chad I do love Journey.
I dig this. Thank you. It's why I find unconditional love and respect so important.
