A guide is leading a group of travelers along a treacherous mountain range. Luckily, there is a safe road he is following, and he knows the road well. Following it has kept the entire group of travelers safe from all kinds of perils they can see around them as they go.
One person steps off the road and wanders along to the side.
When the Guide calls them to come back, the person says, "I want to go this way. Why doesn't the road go this way? The view over here is much nicer. I like it better."
The Guide replies, "I know this road, and it just doesn't go that way. You should come back."
The person who has left the road insists, "This way is better! Make the road go this way! You're the guide, aren't you?"
The Guide shakes his head and answers, "Yes, but I am not the One who built this Road. You will have to apply to Him if you think it should be changed."
The person stamps a foot. "No! I want to go this way! He'll just tell me to keep following you!"
The Guide holds out a hand, inviting. "Very probably. I trust He knew what He was doing when he laid this road."
