This is the problem with analyses that don't take into account every

possible condition. Leave aside the idea that it is not easy to take into account things that you choose to ignore or can't possibly imagine. But consider the idea that you are so attracted to your goal that it makes you blind to possibilities. Possibilities are an extreme. Probabilities are not, but few know how to assess them though people talk about them all the time ..... casually, as if they understand that term well. :)

So yes, you can't eat your gold. If you are hungry enough, you'll trade all your gold for a meal. What is your alternative if that is the cost?

And perhaps more realistically, if your gold has become so valuable and few have it ...... you have no choice but to be a target for those who would wish to have it. You acquired it one way. They will have no qualms about acquiring it another way.

So yes. Plan. Because we are taught to plan. But extreme planning for extremes can get to be a habit.

But also, don't forget that ...... people exist who see things differently from an extreme planner. For the lay person, the truest visionaries are the *real* poets .... because if you pay attention to what they say .... then somewhere in between the meter and the rhyme you catch a glimpse of something crucial. And you learn.

Here is a poet that Steinbeck swiped a revealing phrase from. See if you can find which, and why it is a crucial teaching. :)
