Certainly I'd like to, but I'm wondering whether it is important simply to come to see the world from different angles.
It's funny, in my schooldays there was an idea of 'keeping to the straight and narrow path', which was presented to us as meaning to follow the flavour of Christianity which we were taught. But I don't feel I've in any usual sense followed a straight path, I've wandered all over the place (not in physical travel, but in ways of approaching life). On the other hand, I've tended to be led by my conscience - when I listen to it. Sometimes I've ignored it. Perhaps the only 'straight' path is one where we follow our conscience, even if it might mean wandering.
Edit: Apologies to the OP for wandering off the topic of this thread.
Perhaps, yes. Maybe it’s enough for some of us to experience as much as possible? I think some people believe that. If that’s true for everyone, then to me it feels like God is maybe bored, and I think there will be more to it than that.
I’m in a reflective, emotional mood this morning, having had an email from a man in Sydney that I hadn’t even heard of before yesterday. I wrote my book in 2015 in memory of a friend and colleague (Hugh Brown) that was tragically killed in a flying accident in 1987. I hoped I could get a copy of it to his son, who at the time of his death was only four. Until now I had no luck, but this all changed yesterday, when Hugh’s brother emailed me.
This event has reinforced for me what’s really important in life - it’s love.
Here is a thread which highlights how loved Hugh was, he had a huge influence on people that met him during his short life. He was 33 when he died, almost 33 years ago.

Oh my God, I hate all this.
