The cause-effect reversal

In science, the cause and effect relationship is a highly prevalent philosophy. Every effect is associated with a cause. Without a cause no effect can happen is the argument of science. Hence whenever there is an observation scientists run into their labs and theories to postulate the reason behind the occurrence with the highest logical justification possible. Same is the case with people around us. When you're successful people search for traits because of which you're successful but when you're a failure people search for reasons why you failed. So cause is discovered after the effect. Hence I call this blog post as the cause effect reversal as per the discovery of people.

No one can predict the future. We can only anticipate the future outcomes based on our past experiences and incidences. Similarly the present is always described and dated back as the output of previous actions taken in the past. Success or failure is a result of combination of many factors in different proportions. A person who works for fixed amount of hours and is being successful is appreciated for his discipline of following strict timings. On the other hand the same person who works for fixed amount of hours and is being a failure is blamed for just working in a limited fashion and is for not being flexible in his working hours. People are not ready to discuss about the attributes that together resulted in the outcome. All they want to point out is the reason one is successful or a failure.

Success or failure is a result of not just an individual's performance. It depends on many external factors. In fact, it's a combination of the external factors and the individual characteristics. Hence one must not worry about the reasons attributed by people for one's status of life. We just need to be honest to ourselves, our conscience and our efforts. We should continue working hard with a fixed focus on our goals, visions and dreams. Only then will we be able to evaluate the right effect with the right set of causes for the effect to come into effect. Life is all about doing than just mere evaluating.
