Direction determines destination.

Proverbs 27:12,

The prudent see danger and take refuge,

but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.

The Prudent:

In light of my past experience,

in light of my current circumstances,

in light of my future hopes and dreams,

what is the wise thing for me to do?

The Simple:

keep going!

________________________________

The Prudent:

avoid some pain & suffering

avoid some unnecessary problems

The Simple:

pay the penalty...

...all options are bad!
