What Causes Feelings and Behaviors?

Now hear this! Events, circumstances, situations and instances do not, I repeat, do not cause an individual to do or feel anything. She/he/they made me feel/say/do is in no way, form or fashion true. It is emphatically false. Why? Because events have no cause without interpretation, perception or perspective. In order for one to have emotions about an event or circumstance there must be (1) data gathered about the event through the five senses (taste, touch, smell, hearing, seeing) and (2) thinking about the data that is gathered. Once thinking occurs there will be emotion and behavior. Quite simple, really.
