Question: Can Cause and Effect exist!? Is thought possible!?
've established that we aren't in control of our own thoughts, but rather, others are!. ie!. If I say "Fire breathing Kitten" most people will think of a fire breathing kitten!. Assuming Cause and Effect is true, isn't thought then as much a paradox as Cause and Effect is!?

Person A influences Person B, and vice versa!. Doesn't person A then indirectly control his own thoughts THROUGH Person B!?

And if everyone influences each other's thoughts, where did the original thought come from!? Every effect has a cause, so every thought must have a cause as well, right!? Should I assume other people's influences cause thought!? Where then, did the original thought come from!?

The tie in between thought as a paradox and Cause and effect as a paradox should be obvious!.!.!.What is the original cause/thought, and where did it come from!?

"Shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances: It was somebody's name, or he happened to be there at the time, or it was so then, and another day it would have been otherwise!. Strong men believe in cause and effect!. The man was born to do it, and his father was born to be the father of him and of this deed, and, by looking narrowly, you shall see there was no luck in the matter, but it was all a problem in arithmetic, or an experiment in chemistry!."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
