Imagine a mama duck and all her baby ducks. They follow behind her, trusting that she is leading them the right way. But she is just leading them the same way that she was lead, and so on.
And what if they are all going the wrong way?
So many people are like those ducks. Just following, blindly trusting. Because the people before them, whether parents or teachers or ministers or elders, walked in this path, it must be right.
Not necessarily.
Who walked that first path? How did she or he discover it? What made her or him go that way? What made others follow in that path?
Whether it is a clothing habit or a diet trend or a way of thinking makes no difference. A path is a path is a path.
Where are you going? Who are you following? Do they know the answers to those questions?
