Gregory's Server"When people talk about traveling to the past, they worry about radically changing the present by doing something small, but barely anyone in the present really thinks that they can radically change the future by doing something small."

@MurmeltHier I think, that the general idea, that small actions may result in much greater outcomes is even older. Or so, at least, do I understand the 64th chapter of the Dao de jing from Laozi: »When things are at rest they are easy to maintain; when situations have not yet emerged they are easy to plan for. When brittle, things are easy to split; when minute things are easy to disperse. |
