"It may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today." -James Freeman Clarke

A lot of decisions that we make are in a chain reaction all the time. You do one little thing in your life and it spirals beyond your control. So it's important to think about your actions and what you do and how that might affect certain aspects of your life. We don't tend to think about it often. I think it's also important to think about the chances we miss out on as well. While doing something has a big impact doing nothing can even have a bigger impact. It not only affects you it affects everyone else.  There is something called the butterfly effect. The butterfly effect is a theory that even the smallest movements or the most minimal looking decisions actually change your whole life. An example of this is before world war 1 when they assassinated Franz Ferdinand. The driver had moved into a different street which went against the driver route he was supposed to go on. Franz Ferdinand killer had stopped to eat a sandwich around there and he saw that he had a perfect spot to kill him so he took out his gun and shot him all because of the minor decisions of going a different route and deciding to go out and eat a sandwich. The assassination was the main reason for world war 1 which then went on to another war and it was just a worldwide disaster.
