Actions Have Consequences

Actions have strings of consequences. They ripple out, and affect everything they touch. Still water is good, but turbulent water is filled with waves and can topple a boat. So every action you commit that’s evil, puts a disturbance in the water. It’s like walking in a clear stream, where someone’s drinking. You root up the dirt, they can’t drink. Only a little bit fouls up the water. Or defecating in your water source leads to sepsis and hepatitis. The more you sin, the dirtier the stream gets, and the less you can drink peaceably. And if everyone’s doing it, sooner or later the stream gets bloody because everyone’s fighting for safe water.
