The Pendelum

Life is akin to a pendulum moving slowly from.........side.......to........side. How does it differ from the straight and narrow? The greater the swing the more varied your life becomes. The lesser the swing the narrower the path. When it becomes so narrow it stops. Then you’re dead. It is up to you how far you go to the left……. or to the right. The bad and the good the evils on one side the good on the other. The straight and narrow. It is up to you. To be told one is boring is expected down this narrow invariable path. How far do we dare to go? If we deviate, it is up to us. As individuals whom do we impress? No one if you are so boring, who is right? How do we find this average to be normal? Who decides?
