The Butterfly Effect

The beautiful butterfly pattern on my dress reminded me of one of my favourite chaos theories:


".........the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions; where a small change at one place in a nonlinear system can result in large differences to a later state. For example, the presence or absence of a butterfly flapping its wings could lead to creation or absence of a hurricane."
                       - from "Wikipedia"


The Butterfly Effect is most familiar in terms of weather, but what if we applied it to our everyday lives?  What if everyone made one small positive change everyday? Nothing big, just something comparable to a butterfly wing flap.....

What if, in turn, the outcome was comparable to a hurricane?? A powerful surge in positive energy that surrounds all of us and makes the impossible possible before our very eyes........

WHAT IF?
