Chaos

I have been reading about chaos theory. There is both order and disorder in chaotic systems. Just the slightest disturbance can change the way a system behaves. This makes me question the significance of all my actions and the actions of people around me. For instance the butterfly effect. The simple flapping of a butterfly's wings in one part of the world can bring a disturbance that can grow so rapidly at an exponential rate causing storms on the other side of the earth weeks later. Wow!!!!! Is this possible? Not sure I am buying it but it is an interesting theory.
