Actions— not motives, not intentions, not what could have happened but didn’t —actions—what you follow through with, matter.
What you do (or say) has consequences that often erase any desire to understand or excuse the reasons why.
Think things through before you act— that is, if you care.
Apologies and remorse, and even forgiveness and pardon don’t turn back time.
The weapon may not prosper, but the formation of it may still land you in jail--- or the unemployment line.
