Religion

if you go out and walk on the wet sand at night, you leave a trail of glowing footprints behind you, due to bio luminescence. It's an interesting phenomenon. One time, while walking with a woman I would later marry, I walked in a path that drew a glowing heart on the wet sand. My decision to do that was based on a desire to demonstrate my affection for her.

I decided to do that on the spur of the moment. As I walked, I triggered tiny lifeforms into lighting up. They reacted to the change in pressure as I walked. It was my decision to form a pattern. The reaction of the plankton was predetermined, but not the pattern that was created. That was my decision. In the grand scheme of things, it was a meaningless decision, but it was a decision.
