It doesn't matter that no one mentioned lorries were going to intersect my path when I made my decision, the important thing is I do not let relevant current information which was not available at the time I decided to cross the rooad which might validly affect what I am trying to do change my mind.

Excellent approach to life.

i have decided to block your path because i think you are incapable of making a rational decision .
And i have decided to chain you to this side of the road for your own good, it's much nicer on this side and i don't think you need to see what it's like on the other side.
