How do you go about the path of wisdom if one’s capacity to roll out his upright wisdom, is weighed down by conventional “wisdom” including #everybody_is_doing_it (crime) phenomenon, surrounding him?
"no one will act as he should unless he has a point of reference. We need to set forth the ultimate good to strive for, as the orientation for our every word and deed, just as sailors have to set their course by a particular star. Without a goal, life drifts.

That will be our experience unless we remove the things that hold us back, give us pause, and stop us from advancing and wholeheartedly striving".
