However, his observation is so much different, when talking about making choices or walking down the middle of the road, he says (paraphrasing), "Walk left side road, OK. Walk right side road, OK. Walk middle road *squish* just like bug."

The prophet, became angry at the simple man and said something like; “what is the matter with you fool? God does not need these kinds of services… stop with your nonsense …” which made the simple man feel sad and unworthy. Not long after, the Almighty spoke directly to the prophet asking: “what did you just do? I send you here to bring the human kind closer to me, not to pull them away”. Ever since I read this, I believe that everyone’s way is valid as long as it is sincere. Talking about ways…I once read a poem when I was a kid that might translate something like:

One day yes, one day no, one day too much, the other too less. Lucas would be fed up to cross my path... Yes balance, my ascendant sign. One day yes, one day no, one day too much, the other too less.
