From the time we are born we follow a path and that path is unique and our own. Through the course of life many people cross our path. Most have little or no effect on our lives; others have tremendous impact. Ideally, we make choices - we are in control but sometimes other people make choices for us.

To what extent are we authors of our own lives? As our paths meander through countries and cities and bedrooms and through pleasure and pain, do we ask ourselves who is in control or do we just follow along the path of least resistance?

This is a story of choices. It is a story of two men whose paths intersect with devastating consequences.

We all have innate intelligence. We learn to listen to the environment because the universe speaks directly to us. As children we have both innate knowledge and the ability to 'listen' to the environment. If we touch something hot, we learn very directly not to do it again. That language is beyond conceptual learning. It is not privy to certain species. It is more primordial than speaking. For millions of years we have survived because our primordial intelligence demands that we avoid danger. We do our best. We see danger THAT way and so we will go THIS way.
