I think that when we decided to do something, however radical or impertinent, there would always be repercussions in the end.

For example, if a person wants to pilfer from a shop, he would be spotted by the camera and apprehended, or he would have to face the angst and his sweaty hands. That is a consequence.

Besides commiting crimes, in our daily life, we also thought about consequences.

For instance, we know that if we are sicked and not cured as soon as possible, we would have to suffer from migraines and other side-effects.

Another example is that if we were to eat a raft of fast food, we would become obese and develop chronic diseases like diabetes, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure and diet-related cancer.

Therefore, I wonder how we could be involved in a thought that does not entails consequences - how we could be straitforward instead of worrying about the consequences.
