However dark it be!

“Of the two, I choose the ascending path.”
Nikos Kazantzakis book The Saviors of God
The Saviors of God (1923)
Context: Which of the two eternal roads shall I choose? Suddenly I know that my whole life hangs on this decision — the life of the entire Universe.
Of the two, I choose the ascending path. Why? For no intelligible reason, without any certainty; I know how ineffectual the mind and all the small certainties of man can be in this moment of crisis.
I choose the ascending path because my heart drives me toward it. "Upward! Upward! Upward!" my heart shouts, and I follow it trustingly.
“We are free to choose our paths, but we can't choose the consequences that come with them.”
Sean Covey (1964) author; business executive
