The many turns in my long life

Have led to bliss, or else to strife

I wouldn't have so much to rue

If every turn said Don't or Do.

I get your drift.

Thanks Turlough.  I guess it would be a boring old life if we all knew how everything would turn out. 

And at least we do have choices.  Many don't.

Aye, that's true enough Kat. A bad place is an even badder place if it's someone else who's sent you there or if you can't leave.

I'd rather live in Middlesbrough than Khan Yunis.

Absolutely.  Forced displacements.  Arranged marriages. Conscription.   We really are lucky in this country, even when the news looks grim.
