From Post Secret.

I'm realizing how few consequences there are in the day-to-day life of an American. That's why it's so hard not to be wasteful. I broke my iPod charger for the second time. Why? I was lazy and didn't take good care of it, again, so it doesn't work. So what, I thought. I bought a new one for cheap online. It was needlessly wasteful, but there were no consequences in the short-term, none that I could see at all. In that sense, it would be useful for people to have some idea of karma. When you think about everything affected by your actions, it makes you more likely to choose the right action in a circumstance.
