Policies.

The path on the left is a Policy.

It’s a decision made for us in advance.

‘You can be assured that if you take the steps to follow this route that you will arrive where you want to be.’

The track to the right of the prepared path is where some people have deviated from the Policy.

An aerial view shows the alternative track rejoins the prepared path just beyond the rise.

The route down the middle is for those who trust their judgement over that of the experts Policy authors.

No journey is the wrong one if it advances you towards where you want to be, namely:

For those who take the prepared path, it affirms their submission to and confidence in the judgement of others.

For those who take the brief deviation, it affirms for them that the prepared path is always the best.

For those who strike out on their own, it affirms their agency and autonomy and adventure.
