One way to depict Determinsm's cause and effect philosophy is to assume we are a tennis ball in the middle of a rousing match with cause on one side and effect on the other, endlessly batting us back and forth

Good point. Continue.>

Awareness is an idling motor waiting for someone or something of interest to put it in gear.

Your post put me in gear.

Life is being stuck on a moving train with people getting on and off along the way.

Life is being on a rudderless ship with everyone you ever knew.

Changing what is to be (fate) is like trying to divert a roaring river with a toothpick
