“ it may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today”

The statement explains that some choices in life can decide your fate. For instance deciding to rob a bank. You may get arrested and spend many years in prison. Not only will you spend many years in prison but you may not get many chances to start a new life because jobs don't trust you for having a prison record. What if you decide to try a type of drug and you don't react well to it you are exposing yourself to get addicted or maybe die on that first time you have tried it. Choosing the wrong today may impact your life your whole life.
