Emotional influence.

I'd like to continue the 'impact' conversation from yesterday. The impact that emotions have in our lives is incredible. Something occurs in our life either traumatic or great and the emotion that we take on from that incident changes our entire life. This is interesting because the impact of the actual event in itself is limited to the physical. Then this physical causes an emotion effect. Then this emotional effect causes another physical effect on the other side. My words are becoming twisted since this thought is being thought out as I type it. We (humans) are almost like a transitional vehicle for a change to have much wider effects. I think an example would be best.

A girl and guy are walking. They walk beneath a tree and the guy jumps and pulls on it. Leaves and sticks start falling out all over the girl. They keep walking and talking. The physical action is completed. The effect of the guy pulling on it is through. Yes the leaves and sticks that have fallen could change the future because now someone might have to sweep the sidewalk, etc. All of those effects though are connected to the actual physical action. Well the girl really hates leaves and sticks in her hair. A week later the girl is walking past the same tree and is reminded of it. She not only avoids walking under the tree but goes home and throws away everything that reminds her of him. This causes him to come by and bang on the door. Causes things to be thrown across the room. Now all of these other physical effect trains have begun which technically all stem from this one event that is not physically linked what-so-ever.

The people and the emotions cause effects to be spread much much further than they would if humans weren't there. Without us, if a tree falls; it falls. It doesn't cause something else to change miles away.
