The Mechanism Of How Events Transpire

Nuance is everything, for the choich of one word can tip the balance scale of events ever so slightly. That is how finely tuned the universe is. The Grand Canyon all started with one drop of water.


It is the awareness of being able to chose that one word in a sentence that effects the efficacy of your words on your audience. It is one word that can tip the scales to unleash the culmative effect of the Grand Canyon. One pebble can create an avalanch, that is ultimately how history is made.

It is paying attention to the micro that one can effect the macro. Call it a chain reaction.


Now here is a thught for you to ponder a bit..If we could know the effect of one pebble upon another in that chain reaction of human events we could predict the future. What we can know are how one historical event effected another and come to a conclusion about the probable outcome of events in the future. In other words in which direction the chain reaction of events is moving and its probable outcome based upon historical precedence.

Now if I could just figure out the affect of those 6 Billion people on each other and its effect on events I wouldn't need a crystal ball now would I?

The one thing I can predict is that people are unpredictable.
