An Illustration of Choice

Imagine two dark doorways. You know that you can’t stay where you are. You must choose one of the doorways.

To the left, a fit young man appears at the opening of the doorway. He encourages you to choose his doorway. He tells you that you will find abundance after passing through his doorway. He tells you that he will lead you the entire way . In fact, he promises that you won’t have to make a single decision along the way because he knows the best and easiest route to take. He says that he is strong enough to take you safely to your destination and he appears to have the ability to back up his words. He then asks you to trust him.

To the right, an older man appears at the opening of the doorway. He encourages you to choose his doorway. He doesn’t promise abundance on your journey, in fact, he says that there will be parts of the way that will be hard to travel. He tells you that there will be times that you will not see him because of the darkness of the way, but you will always hear him. He says that, if you lean on his experience, he will guide you safely to great abundance at the end of your journey. He certainly looks old enough to have experience. He then asks you to trust him.

You only have two choices. Which doorway will you choose?

Now imagine a shining world called Kosundo, a world that some call the sixth world of men. It’s a lovely, green world. It’s a world that offers many advantages to its inhabitants, though like all worlds where mankind exists, it is not a perfect world.

The inhabitants of this world will soon be called upon to make a decision much like the decision of the doorways. Some will enthusiastically embrace the choice, while others will pretend that a choice will never have to be made. Yet all will choose. Who will choose wisely? And will enough choose well to save their world?

Choose Wisely!
