What Does Consequences Mean
-
It’s an action whose outcome has bearing on subsequent events.
The best way I can explain it is:
Joe has his heart sent on finishing his degree at a fancy university in California. His friend, Bob, pledged to join him out there and share expenses. Now Bob is having second thoughts and Joe is confronting him with, “Hey, Bob, this is a matter of consequences for me…if you back out now, my whole plan goes down the tubes as well.”
This is a scenario where I think that phrase would be used and applies.
