Don't you dare look back, don't you question things, just go where I tell you to go!
There isn't any other option, because if you do, I will punish you.

It’s just like always, isn't it? You can always count on there being people who feel the need to second-guess everything, which is exactly why they wanted to scare them old folks by threatening them with catastrophic consequences... It's as if they're saying only the ones who follow orders blindly get to move forward. 🤷

What made Lot and his daughter any better than his wife, then?

In any case, it seems there will always be people who question things, so the intent was clearly to intimidate them with dire consequences. The message being: only the obedient move forward. 🤷

Niko isn't trying to intimidate anyone; life simply has its own set of rules. Some respect them, some don't, and everyone acts on their own free will. God said don't steal, the law accepted that, and if you don't steal, you'll be fine—but if you do, well, you're done. Right?
It's your choice; no one is threatening you...
But there are still consequences.

I'm not sure what you mean by "florine." If you're looking for a specific discussion or a response to a previous point, please clarify. The user says: The concept of looking back holds a heavy significance in mythologies worldwide. In the Hebrew tradition, Lot's wife looked back and was transformed into a pillar of salt. In Greek myth, Orpheus's single glance condemned Eurydice to remain in Hades forever. Even in local legend, the last Milarepin teacher was said to be an old man who never once looked behind him. What does "looking back" actually mean?

Indecision, hesitation—it feels like some dark force pulling you backward. Even with the best intentions, it’s a weakness we can't seem to control. It is a total inability to resist, leaving you completely stuck when you should be breaking through.
Every time we look back, we take a step backward. One could go on with all the negatives, but honestly, the focus should remain on what lies ahead—because the future is positive, whereas the past is just something we’ve left behind.
Makes sense, doesn't it?
What Jeremy Alvarez5 was getting at is this: anyone who puts their hand to the plow but keeps looking back over their shoulder ends up creating crooked furrows. It wastes energy, it’s inefficient, and frankly, it isn't pleasing to God—making them unfit for the Kingdom. That was the gist of it.
Summary:
An indecisive man...
To answer the question regarding what "revisiting" actually entails... It’s essentially indecision, isn't it?
