{"quotes":[{"text":"Our every action has consequences. Thoughts have consequences. Since actions start from thoughts I guess I can say technically that thoughts in general have consequences. In our thoughts we make dreams. So if I think I can do it, then my actions will be 'I CAN' and I am able to do it. So the result or the consequence will be 'I did it!'.","author":"Diana Rose Morcilla","tags":["action","advice","art","artist","blog","blog","blogger","book","cause-and-effect","dreams","happiness","happy-positivity","i-can","inspirational","inspirational-philosophy","karma","law-of-attraction","philosophy","quotes","real","success","the-secret","thoughts","true","wisdom"],"id":9576,"author_id":"Diana+Rose+Morcilla"},{"text":"Cliche but accurate: Kick a football, then ask it whether it meant to fly.

Revolutionaries should not think through other people's minds. Or, perhaps they should? Or even ought to? How can one change the world if one identifies oneself with everybody? How else can one change it? He who understands and forgives -- where would he find a motive to act? Where would he not?","author":"Arthur Koestler","tags":["cause-and-effect","motivation","rebellion","revolution","russia"],"id":34848,"author_id":"Arthur+Koestler"},{"text":"Good deeds move you towards the right place, at the right time, and with the right people.

If we think one event is the response to the other, we call it a reaction. If we feel that the two incidents are not related, we call it a mere coincidence. If we think someone deserved what happened, we call it retribution or reward, depending on whether the event was negative or positive for the recipient. If we cannot find a reason for the two events' occurring simultaneously or in close proximity, we call it an accident. Therefore, how we explain coincidences depends on how we see the world. Is everything connected, so that events create resonances like ripples across a net? Or do things merely co-occur and we give meaning to these co-occurrences based on our belief system?

Chronosophy does involve ethics. Because our sense of time involves our ability to separate cause and effect, means and end. The baby, again, the animal, they don't see the difference between what they do now and what will happen because of it. They can't make a pulley, or a promise. We can. Seeing the difference between now and not now, we can make the connection. And there morality enters in. Responsibility. To say that a good end will follow from a bad means is just like saying that if I pull a rope on this pulley it will lift the weight on that one. To break a promise is to deny the reality of the past; therefore it is to deny the hope of a real future.If time and reason are functions of each other, if we are creatures of time, then we had better know it, and try to make the best of it. To act responsibly.","author":"Ursula K.
