I used to think about the significance of all the little things people do - from what color socks you wear (maybe someone notices and says, huh, green, maybe I should paint my walls that color, and gets into a fight with their spouse over it and they get divorced) or whether you run a red light so you're not late for work or whatever. (Seen "Sliding Doors"?) Eventually, the conclusions I came to were:
1. you can't predict what effect small actions are going to have so why bother trying?
2. the bulk of things in life really don't make much difference. There are a few significant things but overall not much of it truly matters enough to alter fates.
