The author is specifically talking about paths taken in life that are not uniquely yours, but one that was taken "for all the wrong reasons".
It isn't about finding a dead end in a path you chose, it's about realising that YOU didn't make the decision at the fork, you simply did what OTHERS thought you should do without reflecting on the choice.
We can accept that losing the path is part of the path (which I agree with you on) while also being more thoughtful about how we go about following it.
- thenerdhead 5y agoWe're saying the same thing here. The path of "for all the wrong reasons" is still part of your path is my point. The awareness of "why" you did it is similar to the story being hinted at with the graphic of "Emperor Has No Clothes" which represents someone who is brave enough to speak or ignore the mimetic desire will ultimately find clarity on their path earlier than others who only know to imitate in fear of not fitting in.
