It Depends on Where You Want to Get To

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”

“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat.

“I don’t much care where,” said Alice.

“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.

–Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Deciding which path to take is only important if you care about where you end up. If you don’t care, then it doesn’t matter the road you take. But if you do care about where you’re going, then the path you choose today should be made in light of that desired destination.
