An instant example is now. I'm writing this because I had a spontaneous idea inside my head. A perfect match. I thought that it would make out a good writing or description or explanation. Right, at times you would stumble upon bad decisions or perfect situations. Maybe even a bad decision that led to a perfect situation. Of every moment, of every situation there are chances, possibilities, that will lead to multiple paths.
There's a motion which triggers my actions which I call analysing consequences. Most people would have this happen in their head unconsciously, which then leads to their paths. To me it's a reality, a conscious thought that drives me. On several seminars, conferences, talks I have had, people have brushed this topic but never really meant to, or maybe they just don't know. In any way, what it means is basically what it says. Analysing, the act of skim-reading, pointing out major flaws and then going deeper into slow-reading, fixing the minor and smaller, yet fatal, flaws. Consequences, the outcome after a major action is stimulated into reality and is in immediate affection. If you think about it, doing such thing, can take a long time... In conversations where the interactions goes around 10 seconds before response is given, that is the only time given to you to analyse your next response. On a bigger picture, you would have a week to make an excuse why you didn't do your homework.
Here's where the million comes in. In any situation there can only be one decisive act, but there are a million acts that can be chosen from. Literally a million. You would have to analyse the situation you're in, and the action you're going to take. From that you would then come up with the possible consequence. Note that when I say consequence it does not mean negative (nor positive), it just means the outcome or the result of your actions.
This does not only apply for day-to-day decisions but times like these. by these I mean, times like when I'm writing this. You may or you may not know, I write from the head, I don't have a plot, a character, or any basic idea of what I write about. As my hand glides from letter to letter, I analyse every consequence that will lead from this writing. Basically this motion applies for anything. Like now, it is the formation of ideas from the head into words or text. I'm sure that your head right now works on 200 TB/s, yeah that's 200 terabytes per second. Everything you have thought of, you have done, you have read, you have watched are all in your head, but you're still capable of focusing to read this. Focusing of the mind is the sub-conscious' automatic act of analysing the consequences. You tend to focus because the consequences of not focusing is that you will mis-read, misunderstand or miss some words.
That was the quick-to-react concept of analysing consequences. Now to the slower paced and easier to do within a short time is analysing people and what consequences will they affect you from. There are probably up to a thousand kids in your school, but you're not close to every one of them. Why? Because you're not on the same level of understanding. You're not friends with KG, because they're too young to understand your jokes. That kind of thing. I wouldn't bother with this one because you would probably figure how it is.
Back to the possibilities of millions. On a daily basis you would have made various decisions, from waking up from bed 5 minutes early/or late, to drinking tea with a saucer or not. When you finish with school, it is whether you take the easiest course, the course you love, or the most useful course. These paths, decisions, hopes, dreams will take you to certain paths, and one day your paths will intercept another's paths. This is when that person have take multiple similar paths. What I mean is that that person have chosen the same or similar paths more than twice, and leads to both of your path intercepting. Of every path, and every interception there is interaction.
Interaction is when these two paths collide and would then want to find out which paths brought them to that particular moment. It is then another decision for them, this time a collective decision, whether they want to continue within a similar route or pass ways. When they continue in parallel routes, and have gone on for quiet a while, that the bond between them is hard to break, or when they are in perpendicular routes, they drift apart easily. These two are not the only possibilities, there's one rare interception. One rare interception in a million interception. This is when two paths collide, intercept and stick together.
A rare occurrence indeed, when these two paths decide to move away, because it is close to impossible for such paths to move away from the perfection of the bond. You may think, that this has something to do with a perfect match for you, but it's also another thing. It is that bond that would guide you, within (the typical teenage) relationships or just two (or maybe more; but even rarer) acquaintances that have caught each other within their grasp and move on together.
