Love can lead us wrong

The consequence of misdeeds

We all make mistakes in life.

Some are great, while others are small.

But if we cross the line into wrong, we must deal with the repercussions forcefully.

Punishment is a terrifying word.

We'd prefer not to hear even the concept of it

But it's important to impart morality to us.

To prevent long-term mistakes from being repeated

We pick up on this lesson well as kids.

To follow the guidelines or risk a spell

As we age, we get more confident.

Still, we must take responsibility for our actions.

There is a response to every action.

It is a basic equation that is a law of life.

If we behave well, we benefit.

But if we make a mistake, we must face the Lords.

Getting punished can hurt very badly.

Although it may cause us harm both close and far, its purpose is to instruct us.

to acknowledge our sins and change our behavior

Behind bars or in broad daylight

Penalties might leave us damaged.

It's intended to enlighten us.

To make everything right and our ways clear

So when we receive punishment, be courageous because it gives us a chance to make amends.

a chance to think, develop, and learn

To repair the relationship and burn the bridges

So let us lead principled lives.

For everyone, not just for ourselves

Do the right thing, not the easy thing.

May we all experience the joy and not so queasy,

No matter what we do, punishment may still occur. However, we should face it with courage and morality because it will only serve to improve us rather than harm us. It will also help us become better people.

    For every mistake it's sad a punishment follows🥺

    Great writeup!👏 The greatest life lessons learnt are the ones garnered from the harshest of consequences... The brave embrace it, the weak abhor it! Maturity lies in our ability to take responsibility for our every action.. Self-reflection and personal development are its by-products.
