[QUOTE="Blade Runner, post: 1535951, member: 17573"] Mostly, as many have said, it's the consequences of sin. And also, as has been said, how you react to those consequences then shows another aspect of your life and how you deal with reality, and if or how you repent. In my understanding of the world, and I try to be a devoted believer, much of what is mysterious to us is that we can only reflect back on things and retrofit situations or conclusions to make them simple or more understandable. I don't believe they are, I believe they are more on a mysterious spectrum of probabilities, some of which don't "happen for a reason," as most prefer to think. If one is honest, he will know that he got away with things here or there, and didn't pay a price, and at other times, he got caught red handed, and did. The simpleton thinks that each of those situations (and the respective outcome) has meaning in itself, but in reality, the meaning is the response to what happens, or [B][I]the path taken afterward[/I][/B]. Notice that with this explanation, the contrite person will feel an imbalance and not pursue a mistake even though he may have "benefited" but the greedy, egotistical person will keep pressing it - and probability catches up to him, just as one might expect - and increases the chances of a spiraling out of control and a greater demise, sadly.
