<blockquote>"<em><strong>... beware of looking for goals: look for a way of life. </strong></em></blockquote>
<blockquote><em><strong>Decide how you want to live and then see what you can do to make a living WITHIN that way of life."</strong></em></blockquote>
"A young Hunter S. Thompson once wrote that if you can't see any real purpose in the paths laid before you, well then <em>you MUST FIND A NINTH PATH</em>.

The letter is an inspiration for those trying to make sense of their personal journey — but are there dangers to such a close embrace of the <em>life path</em> metaphor?

As we humans engage in sense-making and write personal narrative, what can we learn from Thompson's letter, and where might we be misled by embracing his advice to find a <em>Ninth Path</em>." - Salon Host <a href="https://www.russellmaxsimon.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Russell Max Simon</a>
