Every human action carries consequences that eventually demand judgment. As we witness these reckonings beyond our physical existence, we lose the ability to caution our loved ones about the risks inherent in their choices.
Historical figures like King Herod Agrippa I, King Louis XVI of France, and King Charles I of England epitomized the height of cruelty and arrogance in monarchical power, unaware that judgment awaited them. They ultimately met their ends in suffering.
In our lives, some pursue exploitation to showcase strength and intelligence, yet many of us live as if immortal, reflecting on mortality only as our final moments draw near. It’s then that we question why we didn’t do the right things when we had the chance.
Often mistaking fear for respect, we spend our lives intimidating and exploiting weaker members of society.
However, unknown to us, despite efforts to delay judgment for our actions, our final breath will inevitably come with judgment. In that moment, amassed power and wealth will vanish, leaving us with nothing but judgment.
Confronting the consequences of our wicked choices in the afterlife becomes our greatest challenge, burdened by our past actions.
This underscores the importance of living a life guided by godliness, empathy, kindness, and meaningful connections, especially with those weaker than us.
