My Personal Chaos Theory

One of the most exciting things in life is that every second you are presented with a multitude of options - big and small, and you have to make a choice. Even doing nothing is a possible course of action. Once the decision is done, and an action is taken, it can not be taken back. It immediately belongs to the past. The past and the future always meet at the present. We can not never know the future, but have the obligation to learn from the past.

For sure, all of us have our personal experiences about things we did, which we wished we did differently... even if only curiosity to know what it would be like if we have chosen a different path. Our jobs, our education, our friends and our loves are often dictated by random events, special circumstances, apparent coincidences or even fate. There is no such thing as destiny... we all create and write our destiny, with every small decision and every small action.

Like the Chaos Theory, our the path of our lives move in twisted turns and are deeply intertwined with the lives of other persons and with the environment. Similarly, like the effects on weather caused by the fluttering of the wings of a butterfly in China, all of our own decisions and actions, no matter how small and insignificant they may seem, in the long term, they will change the World.

Looking at life this way, every moment of every living being becomes truly special.
