Welcome to —> The Art of Unintended Consequences!
These (maybe, possibly, slightly embellished) true stories revolve around the Unintended Consequences (UCs) that result from both good and bad choices.
You know what I’m talking about…
A kindness that results in major unexpected changes in someone’s life.
A rude remark that sets off a chain of events leading in a new, unexpected direction.
A missed or accepted phone call that would have changed everything.
A decision to go here rather than there that makes the difference between life and death.
Butterflies in All Our Lives
You may be familiar with the concept or the movie “The Butterfly Effect”. The theorem is essentially that, if a butterfly flaps its wings on one side of the world, it could set off a chain of events that causes a hurricane on the other side of the world.
Most of the UCs we explore won’t be nearly as grand of course, but I intend for them to be fun, interesting and possibly a little intriguing. My goal is to promote discussion and possibly debate about events that shape our lives that were the result of Unintended Consequences or unrelated events.
I’ll Show You Mine if You Tell Me Yours
I would love for you to share your own experiences resulting from unintended consequences. After some discussion, I may develop it into a wonderful or terrifying tale of events with unexpected outcomes. All of my stories here are TRUE… well, mostly true. I am a writer after all.
If you don’t have a good tale, maybe you’ve heard of one that would make a great addition to our collection here. Try me, I’m all ears.
