Reasonable Reaction

A wobby chair saved a President's life, while a sandwich (supposedly) ended an Arch-Duke's. Throughout history there are these moments, where if one minor, seemingly insignificant thing had gone the other way, so would have sone giant, significant thing.


That's true, to an extent, but the problem is, everything is like that. Every action and reaction is based on all the actions and reactions that came before it.


And if you can't tell what the significant and insignificant details are ahead of time, then either every detail is important, or none of them are.


I suggest living assuming the second.
