The butterfly effect

If you can fully and honestly accept another for who they are,

Then you consequently must accept yourself for you are.

If you do this, you realize that the world is what it is.

But then the trite, “It is what it is,” becomes just bullshit.

The world is what we make it.

Your active engagement with the other has consequences.

One of those consequences is that this engagement and its choices

make you who you are.

As a result, you are always becoming who you are

While the world, in tandem, is becoming what it is.

This is the awareness that your choices, no matter how small,

Can cause a butterfly effect that changes the world.
