The Tiniest Actions

You don’t need to rely on chaos theory to have large impacts from small actions. A butterfly flapping its wings is not going to cause a hurricane, but pull one trigger and you can start a war, and thus kill millions of people.

One errant keystroke, an error in the code, millions of people lose their life savings.

A stroke of a pen, a toss of a match, a well-timed push… Great sadness and destruction can be caused by tiny actions.

But, to be fair, a wink can lead to a lifetime of happiness with someone, so it evens out.
