There are so many paths at every single moment in time. As the world rotates and a child is born, their environment presents before them choices and some of these choices will resonate with them more than others and they will make their choice.
They may find joy in dancing, or they may find joy in baking bread or running. You cannot promote one path as the one true path to happiness.
One of the lessons I’m still trying to learn from my father is to honour the choices of others. We do not all want the same things and yes, people are content and happy with the things that wouldn’t satisfy you.
