What Can You Say?

What do you say to someone who has to face the consequences of their actions? When that time comes, what can you say? The decision will go one way or the other. Either way it turns out, a price has to be paid.

When the actions are taking place, everything is fine, life is good--not wanting to realize it's temporary. The money, materialistic things, fun, and everything that goes along with it, it's all good. When the time comes to face the consequences, it's a different story. This person is not the same person who was so confident and so in charge. All of that is behind them now and their livelihood is on the line. This person finds out someone else is in charge now. They have to wait until a decision about their life is made by someone else. Still not wanting to realize they made this possible by their own actions.

It's not just the person who will face the consequences. Their family, spouses, partners,children and friends pay the consequences also--it's not fair. Time is short and life is a precious gift. Some people are so selfish and just think about themselves. People don't want to think about how what they do affects or will affect their loved ones. At the time it's all about the person, and no one else while the actions are taking place. When the time comes to pay the price, this is when the person starts thinking about their family, spouses, partners, children and friends--who can get them out of their mess or who they will leave behind. It's too late then, what's done is done.

People do things in life they know they shouldn't do. Some people are lucky and get away with it and there are those who aren't so lucky. We must all try to live life right. I feel there is just no other way. If the Man above is not involved in how you are living, nothing you do will prosper. It is so much easier living the right way. You feel good about yourself, and you know you have worked hard for what you have, and no one can take it away from you. On the other hand, yes, you might have worked hard for what you have, but it will definitely be taken away. It might not be taken away today, next year or five years from now, but it will be taken away eventually. You are also always looking over your shoulders for one reason or the other, while you are doing what you shouldn't be doing. I don't think that's a good way to live, do you?

What do you say to someone who has to face the consequences of their actions? All I can say to them is, I'll pray for you", and that's all I can do for the person. Let's all just try to live right. You won't have to worry about anything, you will be blessed with everything you need or want. We all should live and be happy living. We can't if we let someone else have complete control of our lives--unless he is the Man above.
