Should one?

Proverbs 14:12 

12 There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death.

 

Should one write in retrospect ... or dream of what is coming?

Should one search for the facts ... or blow circles in the air?

Should one try to swallow ... all things without any chewing?

Should one turn away real slow ... for nothing here seems fair?

 

Should one drive a bargain ... to get what is not yours?

Should one only trade places ... with one in better shape?

Should one seek relentless ... to gather more of self?

Should one only prepare himself for the final crate?
