Butterfly Wings

It has been said that something as small as the flutter of a butterfly's wing can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world.
- Chaos Theory

These very words speaks a hundred meanings when it was first conceptualised in the 1960s. Though, in recent days I am starting to understand the truth behind the theory.

For most of the part, I do admit that sometimes something as small as a butterfly's fluttering wings can cause a massive tornado. So to speak.

Lately, I have been in the eye of the storm and I find myself in a......less-than comfortable position. Though some of you might not know what I am referring to....but all I want to illustrate is that even sometimes, things get blown out of proportion meaninglessly.

Don't you agree? Take for example, as CSOs who handle customers every single day; all it takes is one single wrong choice of word, the customer can literally flare up and starts to scream and shout to the top of their lungs. Whats even more worse is that there was nothing to be screaming and shouting for in the first place.

So, I guess the Choas Theory in many ways implicates our daily lives and rings true to our words and our actions.

Ultimately, whats more important is.... I now better understand the consequences of one's actions and how it will affect others. Knowing that, we have to be more concious of what we say or do. No matter how small it might appear to be.

Though, atleast we can try and remind ourselves; never let the flutter of butterfly wings cause devastiation halfway around the world.
