We Are The Masters of Our Choices But Slaves of The Consequences

One day a friend told me, Pedro we are masters of our own choices but slaves of the consequences.

It felt so deep that since that day, the sentence kind of keep buzzing in my head.

I guess that if people understand and live by the mantra of this tiny sentence they wouldt react with others or take decisions lightly without giving a second thought.

The problem is that in our current society most people live almost in autopilot and have no time left ... to care...

[gladly this community (wealthy affiliate) is the exception to the rule since we help each other's a lot]

Let's say you decide to go out and drive your car at 170 mph (sober) you were the master of that decision, but you will be a slave of the outcome!

a) can be an awesome adrenaline shot

b) can get pulled over by the cops and get a "BIG ticket" or even a night out...

c) can blow a tire and have a brutal car crash

d) can run someone over and ruin your life for good

At the end of the day keep in mind that you only control one side of the coin, so be careful the way you flip it.

What goes around comes around...

Have a great day

Cheers

Pedro

Not really slaves of the consequences my dear. It is just that the result, or consequences of our decisions HAS TO RUN ITS COURSE according to natural laws. In that way, we are powerless to alter its course, as this is what we put out there, and unfortunately or fortunately coming back to us. Why I said NOT SLAVES is because this can be either good or bad. We reap tremendously, as in sowing few seeds to harvest basketfull. So whatever we do for others, we infact do it for ourselves. This rule is not recognised because the consequences can take more than one earth life, and the GRACE OF GOD help us to forget how we lived in the previous earth life.

We are thrown in the same circumstances, as we have put out previously so that we can experience first hand what we have done. Not only is what we have done, or left undone, but our thoughts count as well, as this is where the seed of deed is planted. For everyone, circle of deed must close before spiritual ascent takes place.
