Aren't we all

waiting for

a flutter?



You may not have heard about the Butterfly Effect. It is used in chaos theory but can be applied to human interaction just as easily. Wikipedia has a very long definition which i have condensed.

"The butterfly effect is a phrase that encapsulates the more technical notion of sensitive dependence on initial conditions in chaos theory. Small variations of the initial condition of a nonlinear dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system. So this is sometimes presented as esoteric behavior, but can be exhibited by very simple systems: for example, a ball placed at the crest of a hill might roll into any of several valleys depending on slight differences in initial position."

"The phrase refers to the idea that a butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that ultimately cause a tornado to appear (or prevent a tornado from appearing). The flapping wing represents a small change in the initial condition of the system, which causes a chain of events leading to large-scale phenomena. Had the butterfly not flapped its wings, the trajectory of the system might have been vastly different."

i have this belief in mankind that holds that a simple flutter of the tongue by one of us can ensure that the message of peace continues to move around the world. i believe that my lowly self can encourage others to try and understand that a tsunami of peace can result if we just keep fluttering our tongue's.
