As a Pharisee, I was steeped in Jewish tradition and law. I have to admit, I’m pretty bright and energetic and I know how to work the system. Eventually I was elevated to membership within the Sanhedrin. This council of seventy key Jewish rulers has significant power, commands unqualified respect and is considered to be the pinnacle of success for a religious professional. But the more I fill my life with work, the emptier I feel. I start to dream about what life might be like if only I’d made different choices. Of course it’s only dreaming, because the choices have already been made and I’m so far down one path that there is now no other road to travel.
