“‘Just a little yeast causes all the dough to rise,’” so even the slightest detour from the truth will take you to a destination you do not desire.”(Galatians 5:9 VOICE)
Weather is the daily variation of atmospheric conditions. Climate is the variation of weather conditions over decades. Weather can change in a few hours. It can be cold and rainy in the morning and warm and sunny in the afternoon. There is nothing I can do to change the weather; all I can do is dress appropriately when going outdoors. Climate, on the other hand, is affected by human activities. Thus, by adjusting my lifestyle choices, I can be a climate influencer.
Human nature is similar to weather. There is not much you can do to change another person; all you can do is adjust your response and exposure. Human culture, on the other hand, gradually shifts over time. Societal attitudes and practices evolve every few decades. Just as a little yeast causes the dough to rise, each of us has an impact on our surroundings. Honest living makes an impression. Dishonesty also leaves its mark. Even the slightest detour from the truth will take you to a destination you do not desire. Our choices not only affect those around us, but the ripple effect spreads through the community. Thus, we have the opportunity to be cultural influencers--for good or for evil.
