Two Conversations on Direction
"And then you turn here to the right."
"Really? No, I don't think so. The left path must be the way.
It's more attractive, and it somehow just feels right."
"I'm sorry, but you have to take the fork to the right. See the little sign pointing the way?"
"Yes, but something just tells me the left fork is the one to take. The ground looks better, and that tree up ahead seems so persuasive."
"Well, I ought to know the way to my own house. There is only one way, along the right path."
"Uh uh. The right path looks bad. I just can't believe it leads to your house. You probably don't remember correctly."
"You'll get lost if you don't come this way. The other fork dead ends. The only thing there is a swamp, a pit, and a snake."
"It can't be. It looks so well traveled. And I have such a feeling that it will take me to your house; I've got to try it."
