What size ripple effect would it have on your live
2007-03-18 05:34:21 · 21 answers · asked by SAR13 3 in Arts & Humanities ➔ Philosophy
Hi SAR13,
I have pondered as to whether I step on the provrbial ant, would I possibly change history ?
If you had not been born, I would not have been typing this.
I treat myself to a gizmo to fit on the boat, but only because I had met the chap, and became friends.
I call it all happenstance.
Probably not a word, but you know what I mean !
Cheers,
Bob.

That depends on where the drop of water hits the body of water. How big of a body of water the ripple travels across and so forth.
Hypothetically if you and I know each other some how... say we are cousins. Then the ripple effect started quite a while ago, and if you were to not be born, it would have a huge impact on my life, (albeit I wouldn't know, because I would have only known what I have experienced).
Where as hypothetically, if we are complete strangers and to never come across each other ever again and neither of us have left a lasting impression... the ripple would be small.
But the chances are infinite as to how big of a ripple effect there is/isn't.

That is a small ripple, not like going back in time and stopping yourself from asking the question. Then why would you go back to stop yourself, and therefore you would ask the question...

I would just go to the next question on the neverending list.
And I'd have the 10 seconds back that you stole from me.

I would just be answering some other question.
Hey thanks for waking me up. I'm going to shut down the computer and go outside. Its a beautiful day and I was waisting it till you came along.
Talk about a ripple.
Love and blessings Don

sometime tomorrow afternoon in a bored moment i will probably have a thought creep into my head and wonder how old you are. Beyond that ... You're an experience. Had better, had worse.

I don't think that you would be here to see the answer I didn't give to the question you never asked :-)

That's too deep a question for me on a Sunday

Well! In that case, someone else would have asked this question.
What has to happen will happen. None of us can stop it happening.
However, you are fortunate that you were chosen to ask this question ;o)
