Isn’t it amazing? The event is seamless…we couldn’t control each even if we tried. There is too much going on and the amount of entropy in the system would be too much for our brains to handle…so it just flows along its own course.

“Potential” is a funny word. It’s origins are from Middle English and the Late Latin word “potentia” meaning power. By definition potential means “having or showing the capacity to develop into something in the future.” This is interesting…so by definition we will all develop into “something.” But what?
