One Minute to the End of the World


In one minute many things can happen choices are made deals are done decisions are reached and life changes irreparably But that is what life is just a series of endless choices conscious or unconscious that make up who we are most of these choices have little impact as they ripple through our fragile web of existence However, Some choices carry more weight and influence bringing about goodness and compassion while others leave a wake of darkness and destruction The choices we make define us and the choices of others influence ours in an inexorable cycle of causality in a way, we are all responsible for each others actions What we do in 60 seconds can start a wave of good in motion building and growing in size but just as easily those choices could result in tragedy burgeoning out of control of any one person or nation affecting all of humanity in ways unseen The clock is ticking... What choices will you make in a minute?
