life and paths

Here is a short passage from Tolstoy that I have been thinking about lately...

"If I know the way home and am walking along it drunkenly, is it any less the right way because I am staggering from side to side!

He said he was going home, but there he is crawling into a bog!'  No, do not gloat, but give me your help and support."
