I am going to start using the phrase, "Web of consequence." I will define it as the as a metaphorical way of describing the messes that we get ourselves into that tend to spin out of control into much bigger messes because of our own bad decisions, lies, stupidity, refusal to take responsibility for our mistakes, etc. It can take many forms. It can spin out of control into different directions and tangle us up in a web of lies. It can grow and blow up with devastating consequences, destroying our relationships, our finances, and our lives. The way to avoid this is truth and honesty. While the truth can also have consequences, it stops this web from forming in the first place. It stops it from getting any worse. Then you can deal with it and move on to the next thing. If you gotta take a loss, take it and move on. Bad enough doesn't always have to get worse. Acting fairly in your business dealings, and avoiding evil can also help. In other words, don't ch
