There are consequences to every decision and every action. If there were not, then it would be impossible to experience choice.

There is only one ultimate question: "Who Am I?". The only meaningful answer to that question is life lived. Thus the only reason to say or do anything is as a statement to the universe of Who We Are and Who We Choose to Be.

Consequences are what permit us to know ourselves experientially, and it is in this sense that life must be pointless to have any meaning. For each of us continually creates the answer to that question with our every thought, word, and deed. If the answer were predetermined then life would indeed be pointless. Thus is the paradox of free choice made manifest in our experience.

Consider therefore that Life/Love/God is the unbounded process of creating, living, and experiencing the full glory of this answer. God is the eternal process of God becoming God, which is why the name God gives Himself in the Old Testament is Yahweh--"I Am That I Am", which some translate to the more revealing "I Am That Which I Shall Be".
