The Many Ways We Lie to Ourselves
“The key aspect of these lies is that people treat (or search for) evidence in a motivationally biased way. Self-deception can be like a drug, numbing you from harsh reality, or turning a blind eye to the tough matter of gathering evidence and thinking (Churchland, 2013). As Voltaire commented long ago, ‘Illusion is the first of all pleasure.’”

The law of cause and effect
The law of cause and effect is a universal law which specifically states that every single action in the universe produces a reaction no matter what.
Every single effect within our world, upon our earth has a cause, an original starting point.
All paths have an original first step and from that first step comes a chain reaction of events with further offshoots spanning out in all directions and so on duplication and replication takes place.
All your thoughts and your human behaviour and all your movements affect the entire universe according to the law of cause and effect.
Every single item within the universe is relative and that nothing is separate. Therefore if you move your hand, you are moving this space which surrounds it and that space is connected to all space within the infinite universe.
Therefore all inanimate objects of the universe are all connected within the same space and occupy that exact same space or mind, there is no separation and so if you move your hand, you’re moving the space which is connected to all things.

“I was broke. I had $50 million, and then I had nothing. I had property, but I didn’t have any money,” Pacino remembers about finally looking into his finances. “In this business, when you make $10 million dollars for a film, it’s not $10 million. Because after the lawyers, and the agents, and the publicist, and the government, it’s not $10 million, it’s $4.5 million in your pocket. But you’re living above that because you’re high on the hog. And that’s how you lose it. It’s very strange, the way it happens. The more money you make, the less you have.”

“The thing about time is, it doesn’t really care about you. It just keeps moving forward, leaving you behind if you don’t keep up. But sometimes, if you’re lucky, you get a second chance. And maybe, just maybe, you can use it to make things right.”
— Allison DuBois, Medium
