Remember that time you ate that spicy taco just before you went to bed on the night before the big race? Oh, that weird dream you had about the 2016 presidential election. When you woke up you couldn't quite remember the wack ass details, but after reading "On Self-Reliance" and "A Sound of Thunder" it's all coming back to you now.
The dream started badly. You were in line with your family at a Foods co. waiting to be sent to k'mart. Everywhere you looked there were posters of president-elect Savagerino, looking like a crazy donkey who could eat a whole republican.
Suddenly, there was Ralph Waldo Emerson telling you, "[your favorite quote from his essay]." You realized that you have something to contribute to the world so you decided to chill. But it wasn't easy. First you had to put on a monocle and top hat and then you had make a child to go back in time to the Foods Co. so you could convince people to learn about the candidates and the Abortion.
But right there in the Foods Co. there was a giant cockroach and it started running at everyone. People started to wrestle. You grabbed a microphone from a nearby rack and yelled "Be a shepherd not one of the sheep!" Everyone stopped and listened, so you kept going.
Speech:
Aye! AAYYEE! Dudes and Dudettes. What if what we do now changes what happens later on? Bruuuuuuhhhh, right? Broskies, this is kinda like if you choose to start exercising every day and eating better then in a year or two you'll be even closer to having that six pack you admire on social media, you change your future. But what if you choose to be like "Nah man, Yolo!" and reach for the junk food when you get home and in a year or two you'll still be the same or heavier, another version of your future. Soooo, yeah, there are two or more versions of your future and you can basically only choose one, so choose WISELY. For example, in a story called "A Sound of Thunder", which I read a while back, some guy called Eckels goes back in time to hunt dinosaurs with some time traveler hunters but he gets scared so he runs back and accidentally steps on a butterfly, and when the crew goes back to their time, which used to be all good with a good president and stuff, they find that the future was altered with the person they didn't like as president. So, basically by Eckels killing ONE butterfly the future was altered petty dramatically. By the butterfly getting killed the things it was supposed to do such as reproduce didn't happen due to it being killed, and who knew how the presence of butterflies such as that one could influence how reality was seen or who was elected president. (Food for thought: What if the presidential vote was actually the result of a butterfly, we don't know about, getting killed by a real time traveler.) This goes to show how even the smallest thing can change the future for the good or the bad, so think twice before you say "Just one more." Crazy, huh? But wait there's more. Your future can also be changed by choosing to care for yourself and do what you feel is right. Yeah, expressing yourself.
