Everythings connected
Something I have recently figured out is that everythings connected, and by that I mean one thing that I do now can affect the next ten years, just because of it. Yet at the same time one thing from someone else can change that.
Heres an example.
A boy is going to his college interveiw. He's almost there when he gets a call from his mom saying his best friend was in a car accident. So he rushes to the hostpital to be there for her. She tells him that the reason she was in the accident was because of a drunk driver. What she might not know is that the reason that the drunk driver is drunk is because thats how he grew up, always drinking and thats because his parents never cared and thats because they were always on the move from tax collectors and under stress and thats cause . . . It goes on and on and on. Now lets go back to the boy. He missed his interview and so he didn't get in. Then next open spot for an interview wasn't till next year. So, he goes to a community college and because of that he didn't study Neurophysiology which he would have gotten interested in and he would have been the one to discover something huge about the brain.
So, all because of the drunk drivers parents, scientists will have to probably wait for a few more years or even longer till THEY find what he could have found if he didn't miss his interview. Even the fact that I wrote this could change something. Going the morning without breakfast on the day of a test could change everything. Now, I'm not saying that everything causes something bad in a long run. If a mother chooses not to get an abortion that child could become the next George Washington.
I wrote this because I want to see what others think of my idea; I find it rather interesting that one preson could change the whole world, just by a little action. It's a powerful feeling, yet sort of scary at the same time.
