“An old man sat at a crossroads. A passerby approached and asked him how to get to the city. The old man replied, “Both ways lead to the same destination. That way,” he pointed, “begins in briars but ends in a smooth path. The other way begins in smooth path but ends in briars. Now choose.”
“So it is with us: there are some who only know peace but will come to pain in the end. Others suffer now but their end is comfort.” - Sifre D'varim, Re'eh 53
LIfe is not immediate. It is about the long run. We must always opt for the right choice for God's sake, and ours.
