Nor does it matter. To look to one person or one ideal to guide us
is narrow minded and shallow. Wisdom, understanding and the
correct way to lead our lives comes not from one single role model,
like Paul's Christ or a football player but from us all. I look for
the good in everybody and synthesise the best as my guide. A
casual remark or a wise action can make a difference or remind me when
I have forgotten. Thus I tread my path hopefully gaining wisdom
as I do. There is nothing to be gained by looking to one single
source like the Bible. That is a dead end.
