I think the choice of which path we follow originates early in life. Every choice to build up or to destroy tends to reinforce movement along that path. Every choice tends to reduce the power of its opposite. Of course, the path of making is not one of perfection. There are setbacks. We all make bad choices occasionally. Human beings are imperfect.

Over time, though, the momentum of our choice creates a vector, a visible trajectory that reveals the essential direction of our movement, toward making or unmaking.
