Everything affects everything, know what I mean? The butterfly effect is a scientific theory that the flutter of a butterfly’s wings can cause a hurricane on the other side of the world. Even if you don’t care about predicting the weather, the butterfly effect is everywhere and teaches us to acknowledge and embrace the chaotic nature of life- it is the science of surprises. The items you buy, the people you interact with, the things you say, each can cause cascading effects that will ripple through your life (and the life of your loved ones). This theory reminds us how important it is to be a good person and to create a positive influence because everything you do matters. It is an interesting phenomenon that has deeply influenced the thinking of many. While you think about it, perhaps there is a butterfly flapping its wings in some corner of the world.
