Actually, one would think that as one approaches a defined CTB date, that they would be less reckless, so as not to cause some scenario, or physical impediment, that could delay, or even render impossible the person's upcoming CTB. I know I'd be careful as I approached that day. If I did something reckless and were to die, that would be fine, But, what if what I did caused something less than death? Maybe my reckless behavior would just screw me up enough whereby I was unable to carry out my upcoming CTB plans. Worse, yet, maybe I'd screw myself up being reckless to the point that I'd never be able to CTB myself out of this new hell I find myself in.
