Day Life Metronome

I watched the new Jurassic park movie today, there was a scene where a chocolate bar wrapper got caught up in a door and caused a system failure and that caused the creatures to escape, it brought back a memory of pondering the butterfly effect. The butterfly effect is the notion that very large scale events can be caused by small things through a series of chain reactions. An example could be the infection that killed king Henry 8ths older brother. He could have touched something that made him sick and die. Henry took is older brother's throne, he then went on the cut England off from the Catholic church and alienated England from the rest of Europe and later caused wars to happen. You could trace the cause back to his older brother's decision to pick up some bread that had the virus particles on it. If his older brother stayed alive, he may have made different decisions. A small decision made changes to history that were very significant. 

That is what day to day life is like for an ordinary man, we sit down and think about life and death for a little while, then we check stuff, then we think and read, then we check stuff again. 

I look through shops at things so see if I can get good deals then I stop and I read. 

A very small portion of my browsing leads to a purchase, I scroll through hundreds of products and then decide not to buy anything. Then I look at the news. 

I check the news and read articles and e books for a while then I stop and go back to browsing. 

I check the holiday sites to see if they have good deals for next year. I scroll, read and stop then I think for a while. 

That is the Metronome of daily life when one isn't working. 

I browse for shopping, then I think, then I read.
