Just one moment can change everything in your life - or end your life completely.
The consequences of a single, unintended act - can hurt all the people you love most, destroy a happy marriage, cause permanent disability, lead to years of incarceration, or worse - cause the death of strangers - or even your own death.
The penalty for an unintended, momentary act that hurts other people - can result in the ongoing punishment of the loss of love from family and friends - extracted every morning, every evening, throughout the days - for weeks, extended into months, dragged into years.
The penalty for a moment of distraction can result in irreparable injury that must be suffered and endured for the eternity of a lifetime.
The penalty for succumbing to an unguarded impulse can strip away every relationship you cherish, break the heart of everyone you ever loved, destroy your career and snuff out every goal you had been striving for.
