A Freakonomics Quorum

Age old wisdom and laws of nature state that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Experiences in my life have taught me that your own actions good or bad in life come back to either reward or haunt you in the most mysterious and unexpected ways.
It is my belief that each instance of our lives is an outcome of a past event either connected to us or connected to our kins.I am not John Nash hence cant promise a mathematical equation to you defining each and every life moment of yours however what I can try to do is to provide an insight on how life is charted or planned for each of one of us.

How do we connect our lives with destiny , is destiny a phenomenon which can be quantified or is it a dependant variable which is governed by a multitude of events , actions and people around us. I would like to combine two theories here : one of Six Degrees of separation and the other one of the butterfly effect. The first theory states that an individual can be connected to any other individual on this planet by not more than six relationships , the butterfly effect theory states that a the most trivial of all events can have life changing impacts.Its based on experiments on variance in the batting of wings of a butterfly which can change the course of a tornado.
Combining both the theories together their is a possibility that the small events in peoples lives we are not directly connected with can have far reaching implications on our own lives.

The combination of the above two theories can have profound effect in letting the human mind decipher the code of how event unfold in our lives.The theology has been described to a large extent in the book "Freakonomics" trying to link up events of small significance with huge ramifications over the next few decades of its occurrence.The unconventional premise here is if morality defines how we would want the world to work , our individual actions define how actually the world works.

I sometimes wonder what would have happened if Gandhi had not be subjected to racial violence in South Africa - would India have gained independence earlier by virtue of the efforts of Subash Chandra Bose and his allies or would India be still under the British rule.Would Nelson Mandela have been inspired by non-violence and led a freedom struggle of such magnitude spanning over sixty years to change the way the world viewed South Africa. Would India and Pakistan still have been a unified state there would have no acts of terror.

What would have happened if US had not entered into a battle with Vietnam , maybe it would not have shown that the worlds mightiest power is vulnerable.It gave hope to other freedom struggles and epitomized Guerrilla warfare as a way of defeating the Americans.

What would have happened if Billie Jean King had not played the battle of sexes match , maybe WTA would have existed anymore...maybe we would have seen stars like Sharapova and the Williams sister come into prominence.

These are some of the zillions of past events which impact our daily lives in some way or the other.The only way we can define our future is my doing things the right way to ensure that our coming generations bear the fruit of it.....
