"Sooner or later we all have to pay for what we do"
Simplified meaning
Every action we take has consequences, just like when you break a rule and later face a punishment. If someone lies frequently, people will eventually stop trusting that person, and they'll have to deal with the lack of friends or support. Similarly, if a student cheats on their exams, they might get caught and face serious consequences at school, like failing the class or even being expelled. On the positive side, if you help others and act kindly, you'll also experience good things in return. This idea teaches us to think carefully about our actions, knowing that they will affect our future, for better or worse. It encourages making good decisions now to avoid regrets later.
