Actions are created but do not persist in time and space for them be recognized and identified, just as events appear then fade.
That is not true, all actions have aftermaths in the long, medium and short term. It is very common to see that a consequence of a choice can affect us yearssssssss later. This is because the relation of 'cause and effect' continually evolves in the Universe where time is the eternal present. Hence any action can affect us back at any moment. In many instances, well always, our choice affect others, even people we dont know directly, because of the ripple effect of our actions. The most obvious example is war, people think we can go bomb other nations without any impunity, even if their nation is the victor.
If people could think of their actions and thoughts a little bit more, they would not only think twice/thrice but we'd have achieved world peace by now
I consider myself as a metathinker :)
Yes, you see the effect, but not necessarily the cause if it's not done in front of you. A cause can be deduced, even years later indeed. But that cause isn't present. Events fade in time. Actions occur in time, they are not constant. People can't verify the action later, was the point, yet they are still objective because they have an effect in reality (for the most part).
in my premise, cause and effect intertwin. I see what you mean though, but I would argue that it is the level of awareness that will help link action and cause. Although I do not see what people do, yet I can see how they affect my life because I know. It is like the federal reserve's printing press destroying the purchasing power of the dollar daily more and more, and causing inflation (prices increase). There are many examples like this. Your statement is not absolute :)
