I suppose it is only a matter of what you might be able to live with... but there is a hypocrisy - in believing that you get to choose the ways in which you will hurt the people you wish to protect most.
I would like to see to it that you do not walk a similar path to myself. Is that not the least an old man with too much experience can say?

"Don't make the same mistake I did." "I would like to see to it that you do not walk a similar path to myself."
