Do we think consequences are fair?? It seems we don't put as much of a value judgment on certain things ...as we just accept that it is merely the way things are.
But, it seems nobody wants someone else involved in consequences that aren't just naturally forthcoming.
And I want to make it very clear ...that I don't welcome observing anyone else's struggles. I don't adhere to the statement: "They merely got what was coming to them!" If I got what was coming to me ...well, quite accurately, I'd end up in hell.
Of course, Jesus died on the cross ...so that all who not only believe, but are appreciative of that fact ...can be saved from that outcome.
That consequence is an extreme one ...which our Lord doesn't wish for any of us. Milder consequences though ...often serve as part of the learning and maturing process. And we all need redirecting ...just as we don't allow ourselves to be redirected away from God.
