The best laid plans of mice and men go oft awry.
And those of birds and dudes, too.
I think that’s the main failing of so many plans. You don’t know the outcome of a lot of your actions, what with adding in everyone else’s actions and plans and random chance and all the rest.
So we wind up with people, and companies, and governments, and religions and they’re all saying, “We need this, so we’re gonna do this in order to make this.”
And while everyone’s planning and working toward ‘this’, then ‘that’ happens. Which wasn’t in anyone’s plans because everyone was planning for success, and nobody was planning on ‘that’.
