Maybe the important determinism is the one that makes us run away form what we do not like, to get attached to what we like and to ignore that most of our life is about this given conditioning. At the base of all this is the not well understood fact about that all things are by nature unsatisfactory, also the most beautiful fabrication about god, because of their impermanent same nature.

Many thanks for this detailed reply. We have come a very long way from Twitter! Apologies, however, for my Twitter-style response. All this is fascinating and I particularly like your definition here. May I use it in discussion with my lovely students? It is great to get a genuine Buddhist response to a question like this as the text book can't do this. Very clear. Loving it. xxxxxxxxxxxx
