What is a real life example of causation?

Today’s story is shared by netizen Ke Dao. The “I” below refers to the sharer himself.

I have a college classmate who comes from a poor family. He is not tall, has an average appearance, and is shy. He likes to play online games and drink. His grades are average and he has not even passed CET-4.

We are studying an unpopular major in liberal arts. It stands to reason that with his conditions, he has no competitiveness at all in today’s severe job market.

In a word: It will be extremely difficult for him to find a satisfactory job, unless he is willing to work hard or get lucky.

He dated a girlfriend in high school, and later they went to different universities and became a long-distance relationship.

One day, when his girlfriend came to him, she was willing to devote herself to him.

At that time, they had already moved into a rented house, but it was obviously a matter of course, but he restrained himself at the last moment and refused to have sex before marriage.

His girlfriend must have been very angry, so she broke up with him after returning home.

Later, when he told me this, I asked him, “Do you regret it?”

He replied: “No regrets!”

When he was about to graduate from college, everyone was busy either taking the postgraduate entrance examination or looking for a job, but he remained indifferent and still indulged in games and alcohol.

Some classmates teased him, but he didn’t care much.

The curse of “graduation = unemployment” came true for him. After graduation, he was indeed “unemployed” and went to Shenzhen alone.

Surprisingly, it didn’t take long for him to meet a “noble person”. With the help of that “noble person”, he successfully became an employee of a certain satellite TV station.

You know, that TV station has many outstanding people trying to get in. And it is incredible that he, a person who has nothing to do with excellence in all aspects, has been given such an opportunity.

I think that people who can have this kind of luck must have some virtues that can alarm ghosts and gods. Thinking about this classmate of mine, he was able to stick to his principles and not cross the line of defense when his girlfriend took the initiative to embrace her. This kind of determination and integrity are indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.

I have read many posts about scholars in ancient times who gained fame and fortune because they refused to engage in sexual misconduct. Isn’t what happened to my classmate now a kind of evidence?

We have been classmates for four years. There is no difference in our life trajectories: we both like to play games, drink semen, and are not good at studies… The only difference is: I am a promiscuous person, but he is not.

After graduating from college, our situations were completely different: I had a bumpy life and faced many difficulties, while he had a smooth life and did not seek contentment. Isn’t this stark contrast proof that “abstinence from sex brings blessings, while greed and lust bring disaster”?

Of course, if you want to completely give up sexual immorality, you should also give up drinking and gaming.

Final words

In this chaotic and lost era, there are very few people who can refrain from having sex before marriage. On the contrary, premarital sex has become the norm. Therefore, those who can stick to the bottom line in this big dye vat are extraordinary. It requires firm belief and the determination to refuse temptation…

Precisely because it is difficult to do something that can be done, it is so rare and valuable, and the blessings you receive will be even greater.

Many ancient records mention people who received great blessings and even had their lives changed because they refused to engage in sexual misconduct. Such records are by no means groundless. The ancients already knew this law of cause and effect.

In fact, from the perspective of cause and effect, rejecting the confluence of darkness and filth means turning oneself to the path of light. Refusing to lose blessings means cherishing and cultivating blessings. If you stick to what is in line with the laws of nature, you will naturally be protected by God and everything will go smoothly.
