Significance

Every had one of those friends who you knew was a part of your life for a certain reason but then it turned out to be for something entirely different? Or ever have someone do something so small and in general insignificant yet have it mean so much to you? Its funny how such little things can make such large impacts on us; how random people can influence us to great extents; how our predictions of events or people can be so different from reality. I guess it reminds me of how we cannot measure the precise velocity of something and at the same time know its precise location. The more we know the velocity the less we know of placement.

The more we know about someone the less we see their impact, the less we know someone the more we realize their impact. When you have a friend who you have had "forever" you see less of the changes they have made on you as you have both grown in general where as when a stranger makes you change or adopt something you notice it more. How is it that we can accurately compare then the significance of a person, event or thing when we cannot controls the amount of variables?
