Opinion: The spectacular downfall of Ronda Rousey is a harsh lesson in cause and effect

Every cause has its effect, and every effect has its cause.

The law of cause and effect is all pervasive in our daily lives, both on an individual and collective level (microcosm and macrocosm), and we are all bound by it.

Cause and effect, like the law of gravity or the law of thermodynamics, is immutable and impersonal. These deterministic laws govern our universe and we can either choose, via our own free will, to work in accordance with them or against them.

If for example, we decided to work against the law of gravity on this earthly plane by believing that our human bodies could fly, the consequences would be devastating.
