At the Cross-Roads
There is an old story:
It was a dark night.
The only light was the reflection of the moon on the snow that was falling quite heavily.
A doctor lazed around the surgery enjoying the warmth of an open
fire when he received a message . A mother was in labour but
there was some difficulty, and the mother and the child's life were in danger.
Now this particular mother lived way out in the country,
and it was quite a distance to travel to get to her-especially in the snow.
He was faced with a sort of cross-roads or a choice.
He could go one way and try to save the child's life
but most probably kill himself on the way.
Or he could take the other path and save his life
but then the child would most probably die.
When all we can see is the choice, the ideas or possible decisions,
we cannot see right or wrong or good or bad.
This is because there is no such thing as good or bad choices
or decisions, just good or bad consequences.There is no such thing as
a good or bad road; it all depends on what you do on the way.
At the cross-roads you cannot choose a wrong path.
