Compassion Quote by Mary Christina Wood
““The thing that you have to understand about nature and natural law is, there’s no mercy…. There’s only law. And if you don’t understand that law and you don’t abide by that law, you will suffer the consequence. Whether you agree with it, understand it, comprehend it, it doesn’t make any difference. You’re going to suffer the consequence, and that’s right where we’re headed right now.””
