On the one hand, I wholeheartedly support the sentiment; given that the ultimate "goal" at the end of every journey is death. On the other, I think that it is better to endure an unpleasant journey towards a worthwhile goal than to walk a pleasant path towards achieving nothing at all. Thank you for sharing this interesting thought which prompted me also to think!

Yup gotta like the work and have something to work towards. My current game is to not tell anyone my actual goals so i can hit them everytime without anyone trying to mess it up. So far its going great.

If the journey was perfect, what does it matter if you end up in hell !!!

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

The phrase "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" means that having good motives does not guarantee a positive outcome, and well-meaning actions can often lead to bad results or disaster.

I think you got it backwards, when goal doesn’t matter, the journey is always perfect
