The consequences of our actions will always have an effect on the people around us. It is important to always keep this in mind as we take decisions in life so that our lives a positive effect. Having this effect on someone could potentially save their life depending on the situation. On the other hand making wrong choices could potentially harm people we never intended to wrong. It is not always easy to see which decision will have these effects because life is not always black and white but is generally a shade of gray instead. In these cases it is better to seek guidance and turn towards the scriptures. One of my favorite bible verses on making choices comes from Proverbs 3:5-6; Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding. Acknowledge him in all your ways, and he will make your paths straight.
It certainly is important to think about the consequences of our actions, and strive to be respectful to others in the actions we choose to take. The way we use our agency makes all the difference.
