A butterfly effect is the phenomeon that a small change in initial conditions that leads to a significantly different result than if the initial conditions haven’t been changed. Have you personally witnessed such phenomeon?

Example: Your pet seeks attention and you decided to spend a few seconds to pet your pet before leaving for work/a party/shopping for grocerries/etc. You drive to an intersection and the light turns red just a few seconds before you arrive, the car ahead of you passed the intersection sucessfully. When you eventually arrive at the next intersection, you find the car ahead of you was hit on the side by another car from the intersecting road. The driver in the car ahead of you was instantly killed.

You’ve just been saved by your pet.

    I’m not saying that you didn’t mess up, but he was in his 80s. Try not to beat yourself up too much. An outlook I’ve had after a few close deaths is to live a better healthier life for those not here. Mall walker man can be you driving force to help better the world one mall walker at a time.

    I was into WOW for a long time and I know the addiction tendencies that creep up playing that game. These are companies (gaming and social media) that spend countless time, money, and energy to try to get as many people addicted to their services as possible. The average teenager trying to kill time between classes or jobs don’t really stand a chance.

    Ding! Grats!
