Because there's no such thing as no consequences. If I have the ability to rob a bank and get away with no consequences, there are still consequences for the bank guard that loses his job (or that I have to hurt in order to get into the vault). There are consequences for the people whose money I've taken. Just because there are no consequences on me personally, doesn't mean there are no consequences.
Doing good comes from having empathy for other people, not because you're afraid of personal consequences.
As someone who works at a bank, tbh the only consequences would be trauma inflicted on the tellers and customers. Taking money out of the vault doesn't take money out of accounts, and no decent institution would fire anyone for being robbed. Most banks don't have armed guards, so if someone comes in with a gun, we're expected to follow their demands and hit the panic button if it's safe to do so.
Absolutely, but this understanding requires more than a 6th grade reading level.
