The primary symptom of maladaptive thoughts and behaviour (going the wrong way, thinking the wrong way) is when we have a constant habit of choosing short term stimulus driven pleasure over the everlasting; this is how we know we have gone wrong somewhere.
The effect of those decisions and habits is so harmful to our life, detrimental to our Ākhira, our relationship with Allāh. And it doesn't only effect us but it effects everyone around us and our Ummah.
Therefore, whenever we do something, think something - we need to think about its consequences.
