Consequences

I know you know the word and I'm pretty sure you understand the meaning. Here is an example of consequences. I was changing the lightbulb today and I was thinking about climbing down the ladder to throw away the burnt out one, but instead, I took the risk of trying to toss it in the garbage can knowing that there's a possibility that it would miss and break.

And it did. Sometimes I may not even think that bad things can happen and they do. Actions have consequences whether we know them or not. Whether they happen or not. Sometimes things can't be avoided. A lot of time though, you can minimize negative consequences by thinking beforehand, pausing before acting and making the right (sometimes difficult) choices. I tried to vacuum everything up, but hopefully I got it all. I would hate for someone to step on broken glass because of me...
