The power of change
March 31, 2018 at 8:41 pm
In this one game I play, one of the characters states, "You are naive if you think merely passing through a life has the power to change it".

What is your opinion. Can a person's life truly be changed by someone momentarily passing through?

Of course it can. See: car accident victims, school shooting victims, etc.

Certainly it does. Then again, the vast majority of the time, it doesn't. And even then, it seems a lot of the times it does, it's not very pretty.

I believe every single thing affects every thing else. Like a stone being thrown in a pond...all those ripples mean something.

Yes. It happened to me.
This one person online said something that gave me a new perspective. I had only talked to them for 1 minute, tops.

I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment
