Why Do We Create?

We are all fully capable of creating effects. We do so each and every day whether we are completely aware of it or not, whether we are completely aware of the results of those effects upon us or not.

We can create pain and sorrow or we can just as easily create joy and happiness. We do create, of that there is no doubt.

But exactly WHY do we do so? WHY do we create effects?

If we create them for the experience, for the thrill of feeling self-sensations, then why is it that we do not just create those self-sensations and be done with it? What is the purpose of creating?

That's a lot of questions circling the wagon.
