Rabi, who wrote the Mishna as a reaction to Golus teaches, that when one can choose he should choose Derech Havaya, order and not disorder, even if the disorder is infinite and the order is finite.
The two examples of infinite are 1) Teshuva, but this involves sin, no one is allowed to sin (even) for the sake of t’shuva,
2) Mesiras Nefesh, it cannot remain aloof but must be incorporated into, life and order.
