Cause and Effect

Most people couldn't give to shakes about cause and effect. Not even thinking of the aftermath of what they have done. In the simplest of terms, all of us change the world everyday. For the good or the bad, it happens all the time. Especially in your own home. Lets just say me, I screw the lid on to tight for my wife to open. It's a jar, and it slips out of her hand. The glass shatters all over the floor, and before it can be cleaned up, one of the kids cuts their foot deep. Now it's time to go to the hospital. On the way you are distracted by a scream from your kid, and the next thing you know, your in a head on collision. Everyone but you dies! It's like a ripple on the water. Imagine all that you have effected by just one little act. It may seem small and ridiculous, but it's not. I have seen the kind of ripple, that turns into a tidal wave. So remember, always put the seat down and all those other small things a man needs to look out for. For a woman it's the same, just other things, like certain words at the wrong time. I know this guy that woke up smiling, but over heard his wife on the phone. He took what she said the wrong way. She was actually talking about someone else. He left without her knowing, ended up at a bar way to early and got in a bar fight. He didn't mean to, but his cause and effect was, an empty beer bottle, a comment that made him madder and a quick burst of rage. The guy is dead and he will probably never get out of the hell hole he is in. So next time you decide to kick that rock on the side walk, think twice. Someone may step on it, trip, fall and break their neck. Cause and effect, so watch your step! Until next time.
