It is impossible to realise the outcome of any decision or action, whether ultimately, it is good or bad; for its effects continue until life ends, and hopefully, entirety can be observed.
Each time we go against our convictions, and choose the path of others, we create doubt in ourselves and diminish our potential in life. That is a negative.
Each time we go with our convictions, and choose our own path, we are challenged and fine-tuned, like excess wood being chipped off a masterpiece. That is a positive.
And when we face entirety, and discover that we went against our convictions and things turned out wrong; that would be a double negative. We've diminished ourselves with nothing to show for it.
Or we went with our convictions and things turned out right; a double positive. We are complete.
Taking everything into consideration; who do think is in heaven?
