is the LAST STRAW always the LONGEST?

Answer 1

You have beautifuly combined
two questions in one
............................................
LUCK and ENDURANCE

Whatever breaks your back is the last straw
lenght wont matter
that's ENDURANCE

it only depends on your personal qualities
your abilities,ambitions & determinations

On the other hand

If you lack all of the above
you would be
pulling straws with your universe
by looking for a quick easy break
( the longest possible straw )
from the random twists of fate
That's LUCK

sadly,by doing so
you would be surprised
how early in the game
that SHORT STRAW
could be drawn

so
in conclusion,

i would say that whoever
is counting on ENDURANCE
will survive all the straws chosen by fate
regardless of its lenght
because it's not
the LONG STRAW
that would be his glory

His victory would be
to keep moving on
from one fulfiled goal to another
and to outlive every obstacle
with a chin up & a straight back

Answer 2

The last straw is usually the one that will be a good fit amongst all the others. For it may need a bit of tucking away inside so as it wont drop out, or be put on the top so as it can be noticed, so the last straw is no always the longest, its just the one that needs bit more help.

However, in that is the last straw that broke the camels back, it means it just was too heavy, you just got too greedy or pushy and that was it, boom, you lost it all including your straw.

Answer 3

I think that yes, the last straw is the Longest, or if you mean, when you are having some problems with someone and they keep on hammering on the problem at hand is when you had the last straw.

Answer 4

It all depends on which straw you are picking. If you are picking the longest straw, the last straw will be the longest straw. If you are picking the shortest straw, the last straw will be the shortest straw. The last straw will be the deciding straw, no matter what it's length, thickness, bend, break, or twist will be!

Answer 5

Is the last place you look, where you find the thing you are looking for?

So i say... LAST DRAWN straw is the longest. coz theres no point drawing another straw after that when you already know whos got the longest.

Answer 6

if as in the last straw broke the camels back, then in terms of time it has to be longest.

Answer 7

Its funny you ask because im going through this very thing right now, i've just completely had it. I don't know how long the straw is, i don't know when this will end. If that is the straw your speaking of, if not..then i don't know.. :..-((((

Answer 8

I think the last straw is the shortest.

Answer 9

if somebody is getting restless of getting the destiny then it is the longest for him
but in my case , all storms are going to be over if i can bear those big ones why not tiny one.
bold and courageous people will say it short
but restless and doing haste makes waste people will say it long.
it is shortest just see inside what spark you have and that spark will make it short.

Answer 10

I f your picking straws you hope not
