Change promotes Thinking, or Thinking promotes Change?

Which brings about the other?

It depends upon what type of change is involved.

Cause and Reaction are not the same as Thought and Action.

Cause/Reaction manifests change with no thinking required.

Thought/Action creates change intentionally.

If we react to something, we are not thinking about it. The mosquito is swatted without a thought. We react to stimuli. After the reaction, we ponder, and make a thoughtful action by getting the bug spray.

One change was Caused. The other change was Created. In this manner, Change promoted Thinking, which in turn promoted Change.

The same relationship is apparent in our experience of earthquakes, bar fights, roses, intimacy… most everything I suppose.

May we separate them, Change and Thinking? I believe so.

Which is preferred?
