In order to live wisely in life and take responsibility for ourselves, we need to accept this law and stop taking responsibility for the consequences of others. We often try to “tell” people things and they resent us for it. (Proverbs 9:8). They would learn far more quickly by simply experiencing their own consequences. For that to happen, we must stop “paying” their consequences. We do this by not helping them out of jams created by their own poor choices.
