Summary

This quote suggests that individuals do not suffer as a direct consequence of their wrongdoing but rather because of the negative effects resulting from their actions.

In other words, individuals are held accountable for their choices and behaviors, and it is these choices that ultimately lead to their suffering or negative outcomes.
