Gerald, You make some very good points in your essay. It was short, but did not need more explanation. It was very concise and to the point. Nobody can choose our paths for us, but does it seem to you that we all usually end up choosing the same path, anyways? Or is it simply many different paths converging at times? How individual is one being from another? I don't know, I have been struggling with this idea. We cannot judge that path that some have chosen as being right and wrong, but we can look at someone's path and see it as being very distinctive or like most everybody elses.
