Also, it is easy to tell when you are drifting paths. The good path will keep you happy anyway, dark den would make you cold and numb. It is okay to be there for a while, but once you get in, you would never have a sense of time and space. You would only get carried away more and beyond. Choose wisely.
Be in control of your thoughts and decisions at all points in time. A delayed response is always better than hasty decisions. Calm your soul, think straight. Dark den mind space is hard to be in. You'd never want to be there. It would be a long way back, no matter how fast you try to return!
