 Keeping with yesterdays question theme…do you believe in the chaos theory? I noticed that in a post below, someone put that there are two paths…you described it as waiting at the lights, and making that split second decision. The two paths thing. Do you think you make these paths, or the dimension/realm/universe were in automatically has planned out what our paths will be?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*my answer*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I think that it does to some extent. Has anyone seen the film final destination where those people cheat death because he has a premonition, and then death comes back to take them because they are not supposed to be alive? I thought that if you had those two decisions, and we lived in a universe where it was already mapped out, we wouldn’t be able to cheat fate, therefore there wouldn’t be such a thing as fate. This brings in a whole new concept of worlds where fate can exist, and places where another theory must exist, one where you cannot change the effect of your actions, or control them.

I do believe the chaos theory exists. Take for example the inventor of the lightbulb, Edison. If he had not invented that, he may not have changed the world for how it was now…but you have to ask whether someone brighter or smarter may have come along and made something more revolutionary than the lightbulb. Hmmm.

Im going to add more thoughts to this later, im in thinking mode!
