The term "Butterfly Effect" is related to the work of Edward Lorenz. In 1961, Lorenz was using a numerical computer model to rerun a weather prediction, when as a shortcut on a number in the sequence, he entered the decimal .506 instead of entering the full .506127. The result was a completely different weather scenario. The Butterfly Effect is a metaphor that illustrates the possibility that the flapping of a butterfly’s wings can set off a reaction that can actually alter weather patterns around the world... In the same way, OUR actions today will drastically alter the course of events forever. One conversation, gesture, act of service, favor, or chance meeting will begin a seemingly random chain of events that will create our future reality. The hesitation or reluctance to act will have different, but just as powerful ramifications. So let us choose WISELY today, and love our neighbors.
Catch it, come alive, pass it on.
