Or as Burns put it:
"The best-laid schemes o' mice an 'men Gang aft agley"
I remember some fifteen years or so ago when an unenlighteed relative (by
marriage) asked Denise "Well, have you gotten tired of playing Ms Farm Wife
yet?"
And see your recent similar question.
The same is true of your speculation that someone resolved to resolve their
life out decently and reasonably and make sure it is no burden to themselves
and others is, says I, ill likely to reconsider and flinch in the end.
My fondest hope is to be found dead with the hoe in my hand or slumped over
the workbench.
Did you ever see the the flick "Outlaw Josie Wales"? When Clint Eastwood
rides out to meet the Indians they ask him why he came. He said to die. He
said
his piece and then added that since he was there to die, there was iron in
his works of death, so they could know there was also iron in his words of
life.
