There are many things that can go wrong when you blame someone else for something they are not guilty of. Consequence is defined as the result of your actions. Whether they are good or not, they are considered to be a consequence. These consequences can be very bad and hurt people a lot.  For example, if Katie went to the store and stole a piece of bubblegum, but I blamed Jessie for it, Jessie would have to suffer the consequences, and Katie would not learn a lesson.  First of all, Jessie would have to do whatever happens when you steal something, like deal with the police and the store and pay a fine or whatever.  This would be very unfair and many people would label her as a thief and not let her into other stores.  Katie, on the other hand, would be chewing her bubblegum and not having a care in the world. This is almost worst then the punishment that Jessie faces because if Katie were to want to steal again, she could be in more trouble.  She would eventually build up to grand theft and then her consequences would be worse then ever.  This is horrible because if she were to have gotten caught the first time, her punishment would be better then the big punishment later.  She would learn her lesson and be on her way.  These lessons can be learned before you fault and try to blame someone else.  If you just take blame for what you have done, the world would be so much nicer.  We would not have many of the problems we have today in society with lying and false punishments being carried out.  This would make a world a difference in society because everyone would be friends.  There would be no blindsiding, or backstabbing, or bullying.  It would be a very extraordinary world.  It would be awesome and lovely and we would all join hands and sing until the end of the world in December.
