Cause and Effect

Karma

30 Phil, Chapter 14, Badarayana, Touchstone 36: Cause and Effect.

While karma carries spiritual connotations, cause-and-effect is the non-religious equivalent. From this perspective, cause and effect represents the idea that every action has a reaction, and that our choices and behaviors will inevitably have consequences.

The ethical implications imply a personal responsibility and acceptance of consequences. The results of our good and bad actions highlight the importance of focusing on good intent, as our actions have a direct impact on our well-being and the well-being of others.
