Foreword



The tiny ripples of the lake, what difference can they make?

They could cause a whirlpool, or even a tsunami

A little ripple goes a long way

A small cause, a great effect

Are people like that, too?

Are we, as human beings, like the tiny ripple upon the water?

Some say we are

Some say a small event can trigger an effect of humongous proportions

Some say a small change can result in something that we couldn't comprehend

We are mostly water, you know

But others say that we are not

We are not like the ripples

We are not subject to the laws that the ripples face

We are humans, different from a lake's surface

We can control our own fate, the way the human ripples spread or fall

Not like the way the ripples on a lake spread out, so evenly an orderly; so predictable

But is that entirely true?

A ripple spreads from a single point

Sometimes there is more than one ripple, more than one point

Humans, in my opinion, are subject to the way the ripple falls

The way the ripple spreads

The way the ripple interacts with other objects

Are our lives like the tiny ripple upon the water's surface?

Is it predictable?

Are humans the ripple? or the object that creates it?

What do you think?

Can one life make such a difference in the world?

What do you say?

Can one event trigger a whirlpool or tsunami?

What is your answer?
