If we all have heart-goal-dream-things (as outlined in Paulo Coehlo's book The Alchemist), and we need to pursue them in order to live our lives fully, because if we stray from them too long we will unlearn how to follow our hearts like compasses, what happens to those who forget, or make bad choices, or never had a knack for following directions anyway? Is there any salvation for them, for us? Can we, after being deterred for years, come back to the path we left, dust off our compasses and maps and take up the torch again? Or are we doomed to wander the earth forever lost, a wrong turn years ago dictating our futures?
