Suppose you are walking down a dark corridor ...and there are shafts of light between some pillars, and even brighter lights at a potential end. Most exits are also entrances. You know you are on a pathway to leave where you are presently ...but where does it lead??

Yes, there are choices ...with times of little direction, and times of an abundance of various directions.  You can study, discern, and even listen to advice ...but ultimately, you must decide.

There is no general consensus whether it is better to have much direction concerning many choices, or whether it is preferable to have less options.  Often several options is best, and other times it's best to have limited options to choose from.  I guess that depends on whether adding options allows the introduction of the best option, or would initially having the best option only court doubt by the promotion of alternative ones?
