Cause and Effect

I do believe that we are victims of cause and effect, and that our choices are finally illusions. Because, even if one says that one can make good choices, it is finally an effect of the different influences one has. However, this has some implications:

Firstly, it means that one should always be very humble, even when one is very succesful, because one is only a victim of cause and effect.

Secondly, it does not mean that one must stop working hard for moving towards his goals, because even though you are a factor in the operations of the rule of cause and effect, you are still a factor in many other rules. Also, please don't let this theory de-motivate you!

Thirdly, the future still remains unpredictable because if you predict the future, your predictions will be the causes of some more effects, and therefore, your prediction is bound to be inaccurate. I think this phenomenon is a recognised scientific theorem in quantum theory.
