Cause And Effect

Cause and effect is a very intuitive way of thinking. I will now explain my relationship with this scientific format. Causes which are done by ourselves as a result of our free-will result in a desired effect. Lets take an example from Clockwork Orange: an excellent commentary on free-will: the main character is treated, as cause, and cured, as effect. This major turning point was dictated by cause and effect. One learns to rely on outside sources the moment one's future is saved. This mirrors the use of drugs, and part of the reason I loved them so much was my being attuned with their effects. Now, I have two things to say about the nature of this type of perception. First, causation only comes to mind when we controlled the cause. What caused the cause to cause the cause is entirely unknown. Second, one can never be sure of how much of a cause one needs to produce an effect. This is seen when in Clockwork Orange the main character begs and pleads the scientists to stop with the therapy, yet they won't, because not even scientists know the first time. It is in this case that ignorance is really not bliss! Nietzsche says of causation, "The interpretation of an event as either an act or the suffering of an act." This duality of cause and effect seems to segregate itself when we look at it this way: the main character in Clockwork Orange equates his becoming a better human during his greatest act of suffering. So, as his suffering has the effect of less suffering for humanity, it guarantees that the cause will continue so long as the balance is not met (so long as someone needs his personal revenge).
