The theory that even the smallest step one takes in his/her life can change the course of said life immensely. The name of this theory came to be when a Chaos Theory stated: "It has been said that something as small as the flutter of a butterfly's wing can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world."
Right vs. Left
Up vs. Down
Noon vs. Midnight
These choices, once chosen, are all examples of the Butterfly Effect and how one of these choices vs. another will affect one's life greatly.

Theory that everything matters. That even the flutter of a butterfly's wings can cause a hurricane on the otherside of the world. If you change even the smallest of life's details, you completely change its outcome.

1. The theory that everything that happens must happen; that you can't save one thing without destroying something else. Coming from the idea of a butterfly caught in a spider's web. You can't save the butterfly without killing the spider (through violence or starvation).
(Also personified in the more popular saying, "Live and Let Die")
2. ... Also the name of a movie that portrays the previous definition. Er, I think. I haven't actually seen it. Is it any good? Excuse me if I don't hold my breath...
