Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.Most of us intuitively know the path of virtue, but we allow our ego-based desires to cloud our vision. Instead of keeping our eyes focused on the steps ahead, we allow ourselves to become distracted by our insatiable wants and go veering off the path. Before we know it, we are lost!
~ King James version ~
If I have even just a little sense,
I will walk on the main road and my only fear
will be of straying from it.
Keeping to the main road is easy,
But people love to be sidetracked.
~ from Verse 53 of the Tao Te Ching ~
