Part 3/16:
The core message is stark: either develop a good vision or a bad one. This isn't an option of choice but a necessity. A poor vision—if characterized as immature or hedonistic—serves only as a reflection of transient whims, leading one to impose superficial or misguided goals. It’s vital to recognize that what governs your life's direction is deeply connected to the content and clarity of your vision.
Living unexamined or driven by impulsive desires risks being governed by the wrong things—a state akin to being possessed by destructive forces. Being possessed by the right things—values, purpose, or noble aims—is the antidote. Without this intentionality, you risk not only personal trouble but also becoming a burden or troublemaker to those around you.
