This is another one that I don’t know if it is for me or for others. Part of it relates but it seems expanded to me.

We all need to deal with the consequences of our actions. Every choice we make has consequences and leads to other choices.

Since our actions and choices stem from who we are sometimes if there is a conflict between the cores of two people then the outcome can be somewhat inevitable. If that is not the case, then it is about how we choose to act that will lead us to where we end up.

For every consequence there is a branching of options on how to deal with it. Each of these is based on a choice that will lead to more consequences. We can never go back to correct a choice that has lead to a consequence we don’t like but we can try to make choices that lead the path back to where we would like to be. Or we can push the problem farther down a bad path. It is how we handle the consequences of our actions that make things better or worse.

In a way, this is very similar to karma. We are the authors of our own lives and we put ourselves right where we are. We get the life we have created out of our actions and the resulting consequences. Some times we know what we are doing, sometimes we don’t.
