Adjudicated Parallels

There is a lot of leaning for wisdom to reach the masses. One of them is the art of making a choice. The choice of deciding what one needs to prove and to whom. These may vary from person to person and the best choice with a huge number of following can do wonders. Less said than done, yielding to irrelevant choices and becoming a puppet of the naysayer can drive one to perdition. I was once a part of such an episode.
