That works. Could have said that in the first place. Why didn't you?
I saw it. Hell of an anchor. Is that like sea rage or something?
Does a slight edit help you reconsider?

My path has been laid out only insofar as the destination I hope to achieve
As do I.

I quote: "but the path has been laid out for me, I need only the courage to walk it."
That does imply a predestined direction, or maybe I'm mentally warped. I believe its both. But yeah, it doesn't really matter in the end.

Believe me, the path I traverse is not paved, by any stretch of the imagination. And it changes daily. I don't know what made you think I am following a predestined direction.
You should post a longer version. ;/
Well, that earns a nine in my book. Nothings better than a nice good edit.

I never mentioned giving into one basest desires, but I did mention facing ones darker psyche. As for desire, everyone gives into their desires atleast once if not many times- any who say they never have? are frankly lying.
What I've come to know, for myself, is that:
No path is a road to freedom until you have paved it yourself.
So wonderful goodies for you, your followin down the lil yellow brick road. Theres not much courage in following a direction, having to choose and walk without yellow bricks for comfort is brave, and independent- I prefer that over anything else.
Just getting an opinion. Good lookin'out man.

That would be mine. And what was wrong with my worm?
Thanks, I felt a change was in order.
We don't acquire our distincion of morality by descent, but rather, by rising above our nature.
And you know that giving in to your basest desires and needs is not the way we aspire to perfection. I have found that striving to achieve pure charity is the most fulfilling thing I have ever done in my life. Like you, I don't claim to know it all, but the path has been laid out for me, I need only the courage to walk it.
