You can see the results of the decisions you make because each decision comes with its results. The more wisdom we have about understanding cause and effect, the more peace we’ll have.
When we make decisions based on greed or any other unwholesome quality, there’s going to be a result that is connected to the unwholesome quality that gives us suffering. And, there can be mixed results where some of it is wholesome and some of it is unwholesome.
To learn about cause-effect, we learn from every decision we make in our lives. It starts with simple decisions like if and when we go to the toilet, eat and sleep. Each decision we make comes with its results.
Should we go to the toilet now or later? We make all these decisions and we see the results like: is the mind calm this way – have we overreacted, have we acted in the right way, or is it timely?
When we take note of how the mind feels in every decision we make, the mind may start to learn the principle to the decisions made and whether the results are wholesome or not.
