Guidance vs. Independence

Almog writes: “I would love to know—what is your position on the balance between being guided and walking your own path? There is obviously a certain dissonance between other people’s wisdom and one’s own views.”

Quite frankly, it doesn’t matter if you are being guided or not. All that matters is getting where you want to go. If you don’t have the answers, find them. If you can’t find them, find someone who can. It’s really that simple.

Guidance only ever becomes a problem when one blindly follows it. Even the worst guidance in the world will be harmless if it is ignored. As in all things, you have to confirm the validity for yourself.


Anyone who would like to ask a question is welcome to do so here.
