Description
This entry is about choices.When we make a choice, no matter how small and obscure, a drop of water hits the surface of a pool. The ripples it causes travel forever outward slowly integrating with the stillness and tranquilty of the waters placid surface. Decisions are very much like this droplet of water. Too often do we simply look at the splash, never shifting eye to the shockwave that grows to enourmous proportions before saterating into the collected body of water. Likewise we never stop to realize that sometimes decisions we have made effect much more then that which lies within the "blast radius".
I like to use this metaphor with people who think thier life is meaningless. Literally no one has any idea how many people would be effected if they were to no longer exist.

Stop being so egocentric Karinth, not everything I say applies to you. Its obvious that if you remember an instance were you recal speeding and endangering someones life you have a guilty conseince.
The purpose of this writing is to explain that I think the world is indeed bigger then myself, yourself, all selfs.
"I dont really give a shit about anyone else" - Karinth
We both know that statement is utter bullshit. I need not say anymore.

Well it makes sense. I didn't mean the stupid movie, but the theory behind it. Maybe You could add this explanation to Your theory since it explains a lot. Your theory isn't exactly clear 
I didn't mean no harm

Honesty is always welcome here.
Here is a defintion of the Butterfly Effect for you, since you obviously have only seen the movie as a basis of arguement.
A name given to the extreme sensitivity of chaotic systems, in which small changes or perturbations lead to drastically different outcomes. A common example of this phenomenon is a butterfly flapping its wings in California, and thereby initiating a change in weather patterns that results in the formation of a thunderstorm in Nebraska.

Note the first sentance. The Butterfly effect is a way of turning a mundane, average, or otherwise unimportant detail into somthing catostrophic. My theory on the other hand describes a choice as having a larger impact area then we analyze. Also it should be noted that in my theory a choice tends to loose influence the further from the source it gets. The Butterfly Effect is a theory which describes things gathering more influence the further from thier point of origin.
See we often make a choice without realizing the multiple levels that it effects. A good example of this is someone who exceeds the speed limit, they might understand the risk of getting a ticket, but rarely take into concideration the risk of hurting or killing someone in an accident where they lose control. This is what my theory describes, not Ashton Kutcher.
Thanks for your imput and please come back and read my writings again sometime!
P.S. I realize my spelling is erroneous.
