Verbal Ability - Selecting Words - Discussion

I assume that since the path of glory is a positive thing and grave sounds negative so the preposition should be 'but' here.

It sense like what ever glory you achieve it will ultimately lead to the grave. Its my assumption, If I am wrong please explain.

I think the answer must be 'straight'. Because I heard this line in a movie and this is almost similar to the question. " If you do this, it will lead you straight to jail".

The answer should be "straight" to the grave not "but" to the grave.

If we use lead to then there is no need to write straightly or directly.

This answer is either straightly or directly. If but is answer any contraction mighty become.

Hey friends! Why so much confusion?

Here but is an adverb meaning only. It means the paths of glory lead only to the grave.

Similar example - I went there but once.

Hope you understood.

It is a proverb :

The paths of glory means whatever we have gained in our life, like wealth, prestige, money, everything. All these things have a very little sustenance in our life. Nothing lasts forever. We are not going to take all these things to our grave. We even do not take a drop from our treasure to the grave. We have to go alone to our grave.

So if that is the truth, then why we are becoming selfish and possessive in life. Why don't we share our wealth with those who are not that fortunate? We have to share our bits with those who needs it. Everything we achieve in this world is given by Him. Like that we also have to give something to the world.

Never brag of your fortune as we don't know when it will perish. You have only one life to live. So share, care and be happy.

But will come because both "grave & glory" have opposite mean, so but will come.

People who support "but" as answer. Please provide justification. But not through poems.

Poets will b Poets.. for them grammer doesn't matter at all ...
