“I’ve always believed in cause and effect, or more formal way of expressing it by the terms causality, action and reaction. Sometimes it is too literal. For example, consider the sequential events of work and fatigue. That kind of events which are literal and more physical are easier to understand, follow, plan and execute because of the logic supporting it.”
But what about deeds? what about all those meta-physical things which are only supported by the reasoning put forward by the philosophers from time immemorial. That kind of causality makes it more intriguing, and quite questionable! No matter how many examples are put forward to prove that, it can be disproved with the help of stating it as mere coincidence.
So is it just coincidence, Nope. The world and all its beings, the entire cosmos, the life, the human mind, its actions and thoughts are not just mere coincidence. Those who believe it as coincidence are just lazy enough to find the truth.
Now listen, The entire system is not here because of Genesis, those who have read Genesis( The first part in Bible) will acknowledge what is written below.
“God creates light and separates light from darkness, and day from night, on the first day. Yet he didn't make the light producing objects (the sun and the stars) until the fourth day” (1:14-19), (1:3-5)
See, If you follow Bible for answers, you will be following these illogical reasoning which any educated person will call as absurdity. check the link
But there can be stupid logic as well, For example.
“The Holy Religion of the Invisible Pink Unicorn is based upon both Logic and Faith. We have Faith that She is Pink; and we Logically know that She is Invisible, because we can't see Her.”
Isn’t every religion based on something like that. The above statement about that holy religion cannot be disproved, If someone argues about it, what can you answer rather than scream or laugh over it.
But good deeds will give you fruitful results, after all there is no harm in doing something good. Every religion thankfully support it. In Hinduism it speaks about moksha, nirvana and escaping from the continuous birth cycles. It also says that the actions performed in this birth will result in the status of your next life.
But what is promising is the statement in Gita which tells that good deeds will help you in this life as well. This statement was made famous by the father of atomic bomb Oppenheimer.
The quote says:
“In battle, in the forest, at the precipice in the mountains, On the dark great sea, in the midst of javelins and arrows, In sleep, in confusion, in the depths of shame, The good deeds a man has done before defend him “
-Gita
So even if you escape the laws of the constitution created by mortals, you can’t escape the laws of nature.
P.S. Let there be peace..!

Before you read it, read the reviews. Truth is not always easy to digest.
I will definitely put that in my reading list.
