Cause and effect - an musing

Equilibrium

Why I write this post?? Because I see a lot of enmity actions, ugly debate, until the human tragedy that is the attack on the twin tower of World Trade Center (often referred to as WTC 9/11). Also flood disaster in China, India, United States, Indonesia and other countries. There were many horrifying incidents throughout the history of human life until today. What the wrong? Okay... okaaay, you can says that is the foolish question.

Here, I write several happening which I worry about. According to you whether it is true of the cause and effect below:

CAUSE -- EFFECT -- CAUSE

  1. Global warming. Cause: gas emissions of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). I ever heard a joke: Too many human cause human body also produces warm. Just feel in a room (3x4 M) with 1 person and with 20 person.
  2. Flood and landslide. Cause: cutting down the forest carelessly.
  3. Conflict, war, terrorism. Cause: egoism, claim on the truth. Pssst... I rarely heard the claim on the mistake (ha..ha..).
  4. Racialism. Cause: superior feelings and under estimate to others.
  5. hmm... please help me for the next. Just for sharing.

The Old Testament that I like very much :

  1. A mother who afraid to swim will immediately jump into the pond in order to rescue her child who be under water.
  2. A dog that already pushed on a corner, if continuing to be pressed will turn to oppose you.
  3. Body could be controlled but NOT to the heart.

End of words, anything that will be conducted, think first about its result, whether it will disrupt the equilibrium or not. For example: equilibrium of politic, equilibrium of spiritual, equilibrium of nature (etc. help me for the next, please). I write this post just flowing from what I think without being edited again. May seem as random writing.

    Hi Ely, thanks for the comment.. I'm afraid that equilibrium or balance of politics, economy, people and environment could not be met because the policy makers are bias...and our wish to live a happy and balance environemnt also oppose to the interest of the few people in power (governance)

  2. Dear Iis
    The "cause" is on the policy makers and personal interest of the few people. I know it's not simple to raise our hope. I think... global warming is our responsible to our next generation. Please hand-in-hand together. There are many simple things that we can do to get involved and helping their programs. Please search with the keyword "global warming"
    Thank you very much for commenting here.

    The reality of cause and effect is undeniable. In fact that is the only truth in the phenomenal world. Good begets good and bad begets bad. As Easterners, this is something that all of us learn from childhood.

    Take your last blog. You overestimate lady's capability, which is a cause and she bangs into you, which is an effect. You are a big shot in a car, which is a cause, and the bystanders take her side, which is an effect! It just goes on and on like that.

  10. crude oil crisis in US and China has enforced them to generate a biochemical energy by maize. When the government announce the program, the food farmer in that two countries move from the rice to maize. And the food crisis has came since the food scarcity make the price rise.

    Is it CAUSE -- EFFECT?

    Wow... anda suka peptah itu juga. Terimakasih untuk bergabung di sini dan salam buat keluarga di kota Balikpapan.
    In English: Wow... you also like those testament. Thank you for join here and greetings for the family in the Balikpapan city.

    Dear Fajar Indra
    Thank you for the interesting question. Yes, crude oil crisis was "the cause" which make both countries to looking for another source of energy (the effect). The government announcement was "the cause" to races the farmers to move from rice to maize (the effect). Possibly they were interested by the maize price. And the race of the farmers to plant maize was "the cause" of the food/rice crisis (the effect).
    Finally, the race of farmers for plant maize has disrupted the EQUILIBRIUM of food (between maize and rice). The point was on the characteristics of human.

    NOTE: Maybe the case of the "Badan Penyangga dan Pemasaran Cengkeh" (BPPC) in Indonesia could be the lesson.
    Pssst....! when the rice crisis happened and its price has bounced then it was the luck day for the rice farmer.

    Dear Love Ely,

    Once again your blog has inspired me. It is reassuring to know that people around the world are concerned about our planet.

    Here in America, we need more emphasis on "cause and effect".

    Until people EVERYWHERE learn that greed and hurting others will eventually "bite back", we will continue to have people who cheat and steal and waste resources.

    The USA is facing financial problems for the entire nation, because of the greed of a few.

    Hopefully, in the future, we can work together for a better world.

    This is one reason I love blogging - I would possibly have never met you, or several other of my readers from around the world - if it were not for the internet and blogging.

    Keep inspiring us to think and become better people.

    Your friend,
    Brennan

Chinese New Year 2560 - Gong Xi Fa Cai

On January 26th 2009 (Indonesian time) the Chinese people around the world celebrate the Chinese New Year 2560th (old enough I think). It's sometimes called the Lunar New Year . Following tradition, at the night one day before the first day of new year, all family members gather together for dinner. The chosen venue usually at the home of the most senior member of the family or at restaurant. After dinner, usually followed by giving the red envelopes ( Hongbao in Mandarin; Angpao in Indonesian) from married couples or the elderly to unmarried juniors, and the junior member give respect by saying the hope for health, happiness, and long-aged to the elderly. Prayer at the temples and visiting the other elderly relatives is the next schedules. In Indonesia, I noted that since the era of President Abdurrahman Wahid (also known as Gus Dur), the Chinese culture such as lion dance (Indonesian called Barongsai), the use of Chinese characters and Chinese red paper lantern for decor

Christmas Contemplation When The Bell Ringing

A few days ago, I visited a mall to buy something. The atmosphere was very rousing with Christmas decorations and I believe also occurs around the world. Producers take advantage of Christmas moment to compete and increase sales with tempting offers, such as: discount 20%, 30%, 40%, buy one get one, etc. Parents are busy thinking of what gifts should be purchased, and children imagining of what the gift they will get. Many people calculate their money for the best holiday package. That's NOT wrong! But... when the bell is ringing.... Before: Christmas is the birth of Savior! Now: Santa, where is my gift? Before: That is the beginning of the redemption of our sin. Now: Let's be happy for welcoming Christmas and new year. Before: Jesus has come in simplicity. Now: Let's go holiday ! I'm just imagining the genuine spirit of why we celebrate Christmas has gone. And... in this opportunity, I want to tell you that the Christmas bell resounding the call to the soul to follow t
