The Butterfly Effect states that small causes can have large effects. A butterfly flapping its wings in New Jersey can affect the weather in Siberia. If that's the case, imagine what each of us can do to change the world by changing our mind, by softening our heart, by engaging in estimable acts of kindness, by accepting, forgiving and loving others, by treating others as we wish to be treated. Let's make these behaviors our New Year's Resolutions. Let's flap our wings with love and watch our world get better.
