"How do I know if I'm right if you don't tell me?"
*Shrug*
"Look at it a different way: how do you know that you're wrong?"

This was from the movie Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

The dialogue captivated me because of how much wisdom is passed from father to son in just a sentence. The father's response teaches the son about living on faith and to shows him there are different ways to look at everything, and just by looking at it differently it can change a path or make something insignificant significant.

You don't always need someone to tell you if you're headed in the right direction. That only takes the adventure out of it. The journey itself will tell you in the end if you were right or wrong.

My imitation mirrored the format of proverbs. If there are multiple sentences, the first one usually tells the person what they should or should not be doing, and then the sentences following give some insight into why they should or should not be doing the specific thing the first sentence stated; then, the last sentence gives some sort of matter-of-fact comforting message. So, that's what I tried for since it seemed the dad was trying to give his son some words of wisdom.
