According to the Buddhism's understanding of the world, I heard that "cause and effect" is one of the most important concepts.
The followings are my rough understanding of "cause and effect" of Buddhism.
"An effect" is loaded from all "a cause". We should not deeply attach effects.
We have to back to the cause.
If not, we cannot get a lucky break.
This is not only religious doctrine but systematical thought.
Though it is a natural story, I think that the reason why the Buddhism emphasizes this ""cause and effect" is that
"Few people live such a life."
Why?
This is a harsh reality.

Question:
"Why I failed to entrance examination?" "Why I was jilted by my girl friend?" "Why I cannot ne promoted?"
The answer:
"It is/was a just bad luck!"
The answer must be easy for everyone.
-----
Human being is too weak to face the cause.
For me, I have lived my life withdrawing my eyes from the fact.
So maybe, I cannot reach a real happiness.
Buddhism criticizes me perfectly, because I am living with the motto of "life in a false happiness".
Indeed, Buddhism has survived over 2500 years. It is very reasonable.
