Post hoc ergo propter hoc

Post hoc ergo propter hoc, Latin for "after this, therefore because of this", is a logical fallacy (of the questionable cause variety) that states "Since that event followed this one, that event must have been caused by this one.

There is no right way or wrong way to do something; however there are times when I'm curious of an event in my past is the cause of my current life situation. Yet, in the back of my mind... the belief that somehow one singular event is at fault is just a bunch of bollocks. I was going to write a different blog tonight, my thoughts were on re-establishing my competitive nature. But tonight, my thoughts changed because of a question that was asked which therefore changed my mood and made me wonder about a concern that autumn brought up once. But either way, I'm concerned or curious about the event, if there is such a thing as one event being the cause of something else. I mean we're supposed to be learning as we walk through life, but at the same time... are we learning or just simply walking around in circles. Often times I feel like I'm a hamster running in a wheel, but that wheel remains stuck in one direction, but I just keep running without moving in any particular direction... I mean... hamsters are motivated to run in wheels... there is no doubt about that. I haven't figured out why that is the case, but I don't want to become a hamster that is just running in a wheel with no clear direction.

Forgive my rambling; I just need to bounce my thoughts off the wall sometimes... even if I'm simply being cryptic and confusing towards my own damn self. I'm sure tomorrow, I'll try to figure out what I'm really trying to say... but in the mean time... I just don't want to become a hamster motivated by motion, I want to have a direction... a clear and focused direction.
