I remember standing over a little girl who had a Brick stuck in her face. Over the years she bared these scars all because of some action her father (Who was very wealthy) took years before. As a little boy, this made an impression on me for life.

What does the term “Action have consequences” actually means? In general words, it means, that you have to reap whatever you have sown as explained in the holy bible, or in other words you have to pay for what you have done, it can be today, tomorrow, or anytime in the future. People always face consequences for their action whenever they try to run from their responsibilities and take everything for granted.

Understanding our responsibilities

Responsibility is one of the most important factors due to which people face consequences for the actions they perform. Responsibilities play a huge role in an individuals’ life. Anyone being lazy, not taking any responsibility, taking every responsibility lightly can affect one’s life very harshly. For example, imagine yourself, having an important exam tomorrow and you are not prepared well. Still, you are not giving much time preparing for it. Then, in this case, you are surely going to face a situation where you land knowing nothing even questions are easy. So, one should take responsibilities seriously to have a better life.

Some consequences can be predicted

Many of the consequences which we are going to face can be predicted. This solely depends on our choice that what decisions we take and what is going to be the result of that choice. Like for example, a 12th-grade student is solely responsible for his decision that he will take in his Higher Secondary, which can land him in a great future or a bad future depending upon his selection of the program for higher studies. These types of consequences can be predicted.

Taking care of our actions

Our actions in daily life about how we behave with others, what kinds of attitude we use, loving everyone without any cause can lead ourselves to live a happy and prosperous life. If we are not following these etiquettes and continue to perform wrong and behave odd with people, then these actions can have very bad consequences on someone’s life, whether it is today, tomorrow or anytime, anywhere in future life.

Consequences of spiritual action

These actions depend on the religious belief of the people. For e.g. a person who daily goes to a church, a temple or any other religious place and does a recitation of daily prayers, or spend some time in reading holy books, at least in a day, then it will provide him an eternal life and he will always have a peaceful mind.

Proved by Science

One of the well-known and a great scientists Sir Isaac Newton also gave a theory in physics stating that each action has an equal and opposite reaction and this theory is known as Newton’s third law of motion. So, if it is true in science it is true in life.

The Law of Karma

One of the most famous examples is shown by many of the people. The law of karma says that whatever action which is performed in life has a new counter action. This is also explained in the Holy Bible as “you sow, so as you shall reap.”
