All Roads Lead to Rome

"All roads lead to Rome": an ancient, popular saying. Imagine you are a traveler and Rome is the destination you intend to reach. You have a lot of roads in front of you (all the beautiful roads built by the Roman genius many centuries ago!). You have to choose one, knowing that it will lead you there. Out of the metaphor, there are many ways available for you to reach your ultimate goal.  Maybe you believe that the material path of physical beauty, fame, or financial success can lead you there. Maybe you choose a spiritual way, such as following a well-established religion, with its rules and rites, or doing a lot of personal inner work. If you are more inclined to rationality, your path could be that of science, looking for answers through scientific research, or philosophical studies, finding fulfillment in purely mental work. Any path can lead you to your destination, but you also need a trustworthy guide. While proceeding, pay attention to the 'signposts' scattered along the way. They are named fairness, compassion, joy and love.
