Participation Marks
Every time we choose to do or not do something, we open our lives and the lives of others to the possibility of a paradigm shift. Whether this shift is good or bad however is uncontrollable and unforeseeable in nearly all cases. I don't mean to make it out as if I am attaching unwarranted self importance to my own actions, but this is one of the major reasons why I tend to watch how things play out rather then express ideas in the form of inquiries. This however leads to its own problems when you look at what could have been. But then it would be presumptuous of me to think that I could effect the destinies of others, wouldn't it?
At the same time though it could be likened to the butterfly effect, where the winds of change could have been started by the beat of such a miniscule set of wings. A concept that has recently become popularized by the movie Inception is, "the most infectious pathogen is the simple idea". A lot of times I find myself worrying about what has become of all of the things I say/have said in the past and all I can do aside from running direct interference, is watch and hope for the best. Every time I am confronted with this choice I feel as if I am standing on the brink, and on one side I see the beginnings of something fantastic and on the other I strain to see over the edge of disaster.
Sometimes the perks of being a wallflower are not perks at all.
