Could one selfish impulse lead on to bad decision then on to a chain of multiple mistakes? Yes then are many decision to be made everyday. Whether it’s a law or just something someone doesn't do..
Maybe it's getting up for school at 7:00 a.m. If you have ever skipped school before you feel really guilty because you know you made a bad decision. But some people don't get that feeling or don't care about it and just go on with the day and enjoy the day off. But the day you go back to school is when you pay the consequences.
