"Mr. Milton woke up one morning feeling dizzy from hangover. He could not walk hence started spinning. Until he reached super speed and crashed into the kitchen. Oh! pots and pans they flew from the wind that blew. Neighbours saw him in morning bulleting news."
Story of butterflies.
I was travelling 100km/hr. in the car the other day, through the vast planes of eastern province. Only occasional heard of cows to slow down the traffic, otherwise the easy flat driving. Butterflies, they did not slow down the traffic. They were too small to see, until they were very close, and an impact is unavoidable. They were crossing the road in hundreds, not thousands. So, I may have been guilty in injuring a dozen of them. What is my verdict?
It brought me back to, my childhood, when we used to play in a nearby playground, in the month January, we used to see butterflies. Hundreds of yellow butterflies flew across the playground. They travel solo, not in groups, hence I am sure adults have not seen them. We children had eyes to spot these small flying objects easily, as they would fascinate us. We ran after butterflies, as their path of flying was not straight it was difficult. And they were too fast to catch. Very rarely they would land on grass and once or twice I have caught them. How much gently I would do it, but they would get injured, and some of them, I am not sure that they have ever flown afterwards. I just needed to see them closer, that's all.
If you would like to listen more on butterflies, I suggest you can listen to Sir David Attenborough's narrative on Metamorphosis of butterflies. How they transform themselves from an ugly caterpillar, into a beautiful butterfly, like in a fairy tale. However, this article is about chaos theory, hence let's remind this to ourselves.
Chaos theory or butterfly effect.
Chaos theory is a branch of mathematics that explores how small changes in initial conditions can lead to vastly different outcomes in complex systems. This concept is famously illustrated by the butterfly effect, which suggests that the flap of a butterfly’s wings in one part of the world could eventually cause a tornado in another. The term was popularized by meteorologist Edward Lorenz in the 1960s when he discovered that tiny variations in his weather models led to significantly different results. Essentially, chaos theory reveals the inherent unpredictability in systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions, challenging the notion that we can always predict future events with precision.
Previously, I tried to compare what is happening in life, as explained to chaos theory. I compared that the order we see in our lives are just like, some apparent patterns visible, and explained in chaos theory (Lorenz factors).
Butterfly effect and Hurricane Milton
What a great time to write about butterfly Effect. Mr. Milton has just swept through the Florida. And it had played havoc like a drunken man in the kitchen. he has no right to be there like he did. And the lives of people have changed for months following. According to chaos theory, maybe I am responsible, by changing the trajectory of the butterflies who flew across the road last month. Maybe they have changed the pattern of some molecules in atmosphere and ultimately created Mr. Milton. What is my verdict Now?
Nobody would punish me. As when we travel through time, what we essentially do is change some of the conditions of the state of this complex system of universe. And nobody can point out the exact cause of the origin of the Mr. Milton. As, they are so much interconnected. This is the argument I have expressed in the article reasons beyond reasons. However, the fact remains, although not directly, small action small change can trigger an avalanche of changes over time. Or Snowball effect. It is true for hurricanes, and it is true for wars. It is true for global peace as well.
This is why your mindful deed matters. Your one step, outside that door matters. Your simple kind actions matter. Nobody knows how long we have been this sparkle of energy, which is called consciousness. Maybe we have been travelling, so long and our consciousness is now big enough, ripe enough to understand even the universe, and even the consciousness itself. let us be kind to ourselves and look back at our lives for a small change today. Let us take one deep breath with mindfulness.
