Keep in mind that this is simply MY humble opinion. I would never say I am right and someone else is wrong about anything.How often have you agonized over making the right choices? Which path you should take? What's your purpose and what happens if your life ends before you discover your purpose? What is your definition of purpose? Who decides what your purpose is and where it will lead you? God? For most of us, yes. We raise our children to believe that God has a specific purpose for each one of us that He's already chosen. The problem with this belief lies within another concept stating that we are given free will by God. Free will being not just the right to choose but the responsibility to choose for ourselves. Does this not include the purpose for our lives? Who, then, would decide which path is the correct path and which is the bad path if it is our responsibility to choose?Is there a disclaimer at the bottom of this promise stating if you do not choose the path I choose for you, you will suffer? Should there be if we truly have free will? If there were that would not be free will. It would be merely an illusion by a master craftsman. He did not merely set random paths among the world but he created every grain on which we tread. It is our responsibility to choose where to step. For these reasons, I believe there are no wrong paths just as there are no right paths. All paths belong to the creator in His infinite wisdom. Ponder for example if chose to become a drug addict (peer pressure does not negate responsibility for the choice rendered). After a long bout of great suffering you learn strength and courage, which leads to recovery. Because of your experience and your recovery you are able to minister to those who made the same choice and countless lives are saved. Then the creator Himself comes to you offering to take your choice and give you an opportunity to make a different choice—to choose a different path. One will mean you lose those years of suffering with your addiction, you will gain a few more luxuries, and YOUR life will appear better but all of the people you saved, many of their loved ones, and some innocent bystanders would continue to suffer and many would die. Would this change your view of the paths? Does the path that most everyone view as the wrong or bad path seem so wrong or bad anymore?I believe there are no good paths and no wrong paths. There are simply choices and consequences of those choices. You can make any choice a good one and you can make any choice a bad one. No one decides your purpose. Your purpose is the purpose you give yourself. You are someone's child not someone's slave.
