Which do you choose, "different paths, same destination" or "the same path, another destination"?

Some destinations can only exist in the imagination of each of us.

    i think you are using a strange definition of how a "path" works.

    The ultimate destination for everyone is death and it doesn't matter what path one chooses because we all arrive there in the end.

    Different processes ---> same outcome ~ = "all roads lead to Rome";

    same process requires different values to give even a secondary difference (e.g., "double the recipe").

    I’ve always thought these lyrics were beautiful...

    “Where the horizon lies 

    And the land sinks into mellow blueness 

    Oh please, take me with you 

    Let me skip the road with you 

    I can dare myself

    I'll put a pebble in my shoe 

    And watch me walk 

    I can walk 

    I shall call the pebble Dare 

    We will walk, we will talk together 

    We will talk 

    About walking Dare shall be carried 

    And when we both have had enough 

    I will take him from my shoe, singing 

    "Meet your new road!" “

    Destinations are not always clear.  We totally are just acting on dreams when we move toward something but it’s stagnate or move.  Eventually we all end.  That’s shared end but very alone or not.

    I choose free will, even if it turns out to be an illusion.

    I walk my own path, even if I don't really know the destination.  I'm an explorer of life I suppose.  I believe in process rather than the setting of specific goals.  Or in other words, the journey is the thing not the destination.
