John Prine wrote a song entitled "Paradise" with a chorus that should remind all that conduct is not without consequence; some intended some unintended.

And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

Or, John Milton from "Paradise Lost"

Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.
