Road

Take aside the possible abuse of logic, the Cheshire Cat's wisdom may seem illuminating.

But, in reality, I'm sure you agree, more often than not we have very little idea where we want to go - and we desperately need someone to tell us (alas, the more didactic the better) the way, so that we could uncover the destiny in the end.

To complicate the issue, that destiny is usually not the final one we want to go, but merely a place in the middle of the way to somewhere farther that we wish to get to.

And, once realizing this, you would come to question whether a real destiny (or aim) does exist, or are they all ways (alas, means).

Alas, we've opened the door to the cardinal question of ethics and theology.

Or, the door to leave Eden, if you like.

PS. I won't say it opens the door to hell - maybe I'm deceiving myself.

PPS. Even Jesus said, "I am the Road, also the Truth, also the Life." (John 14:6) He didn't say where you should go; he just told you the way.
