In another thread
there was said
something about how
an idea causes something.

Pondering such an idea
the idea of a story arose
along with a wonder if the idea, story,
may be said to cause stories.

And, of course it could be said.

Yet to think the idea, story, causes
stories to be written or told
sounds odd to me.

When writing stories, for me, stories
unfold all by themselves and often
surprise me in their ability
to do such a thing.

It is as if they write themselves, tzu-jan,
or ziran, naturally, while my fingers
type and tap on the keys.

An idea may prompt a story, to begin with.
But I don't think I'd say it's the idea, story,
that causes all stories to be told or written.

Probably it would be the reverse.
People tell stories, naturally.

Abstracted from all the stories
arises the idea of stories,
after enough stories are told.

Cause and effect can be useful
in that the paradigm can be of use.

Prior to various dimensions, cause-effect
does not apply, imo, fwiw, etc.

- in terms of Taoism, for me
