“In reality we create about 80% of the problems we face in our lives through our choices and actions. Though there are those things no one can stop such as death and other people’s choices. Though for the choices of others you can attempt to influence even though it may not work. For example say you smoke for 7 years or 10 years or something like that. Then about 10-20 years later you get lung cancer which obviously is bad but is a consequence of a choice you made. Now for teens lets say you’re really mean to someone who hasn’t been mean to you, one day though they might actually do something about it and hurt you or even hurt themselves. Actions and choices influence so much in our daily lives and is so easily forgotten. Your actions can create problems for you and others as well so think about what you do before you do it.”

You make very good points. More people ought to think completely through a situation before making the choices that they make. I really liked the point about smoking. I have asked that question to many smokers and have gotten several responses like "well I got to die from something" and that is ridiculous to me. In the Bible God says why must you die before your time. A lot of people don't realize that they can shorten their life by making bad decisions. Good thought! Thanks for sharing.

ok I'm the same person who posted this, but it wouldn't let me add details so I had to get on here... ugh. oh well. anyways, Yes you're right there is a consequence for every action but that doesn't mean the consequence is bad. There is always a consequence but the better the choice is that you make the better the consequence is. and I also had another part that I wanted to add but it wouldn't fit on the original post so here it is. lol, and no I'm really not over thinking life cuz it only took me 5 minutes to think of all that.
You’ve heard it said that you never know what you have until it’s gone, and that is true. I say this because some people take their friends for granted and other parts of life as well. For example some people don’t treat their friends like they deserve even if they are a really good friend. One day you could lose that person as a result of your lack of consideration towards the person. You may lose the best friend you’ve ever known and never get them back. What would you do then? Also for other things in life America is SO lucky so many countries don’t have any of the luxuries we have and even if they do it’s only a few of the luxuries. One day America will fade, because everything has it’s time, nothing lasts forever. When that day comes the realization will hit Americans of how lucky we were and will want it back, but may never regain what was lost.

Dude you are overthinking life way too much. You are getting to the absolute basics. Whatever you do, there is a consequence for it. If you think before you do something, you will then chose to do something else which will have a consequence. All that stuff you said was really pointless. The simple conclusion is be good to the world because you like it when the world is good to you.

I agree with thatt. All the problems in the world started because of the choice Adam and Eve made

''Think about what you do before you do it" Great advice. Not always easy but a great characteristic to strive for. People should try to be nicer to each other.
