Consequences.
A short study of philosophy could start with the idea, everything that exists is thus enabled by a previous action. However there is a line of thought that argues, there might only be an independent, sole, self activated first action and claims that an endless series of subsequent actions is not possible.
In thinking about the concept of consequences, one can not help but think of the age old, perplexing question of what came first? In schools to various social settings have individuals debated the nature and parameters of consequences. If for argument’s sake, you pose the notion of when did a first action take place, it can broaden out into quite an intriguing and theoretical set of possibilities.
If it is necessary to take a supposed beginning point, of say the universe, then there is the potential problem question to consider. Did a first action occur directly before the universe or millions of actions before that event? In fact, it does not matter whether it was a first action or a series of actions, as actions by themselves it could be argued that they have no intension. Therefore a conclusion might be that the universe occurred without any intention for its existence.
Actions may have consequences, but whether they are beneficial or not will depend on many other circumstances, for instance as is associated to the great oxygenation event on earth. When thinking about sets of circumstances and consequences, these following statements do come to mind.
The solar system is a product of countless actions with no discernible intension.
How things exist is dependant on natural events and then they become a specific item.
However specific, items can evolve with the ability of actions with intentions.
Planets are observed to move in a predictable way but can be disrupted by near collision with other objects in the universe.
The fact that there is life on earth is due to many unintentional events.
The earth, like the universe, survived the process of being.
Life has evolved due to hospitable conditions that happen to be on earth.
How long life lasts will depend on future consequences.
As in the past, over ninety nine per cent of all species of life on earth, are estimated to have passed away. That is believed to be in the region of five billion species.
I believe that philosophy is shaped by knowledge and understanding. It is only after thinking through proposed ideas that a true picture of reality can be found.
