The thing is we all create our own path, there is not just one path that offers gluttony and evil while another one only offers boredom and goodness.

If we are to accept such limited paths then we are being deliberately led, which is something I cannot in good concious do, as those that deliberately and misleadingly point you down one path as the "true" path, without letting you see all of the options for yourself, do not have your best interests in mind. Chances are they're either lonely themselves, or looking for a body to feed to the wolves so that they can gain safe passage themselves...which seems to be what the "fun" path would be in this particular choice...as the only reason one would be hated that much is if they were the scape goat thrown to the wolves as a distraction to allow the leader to finish down a path they could not have gotten to on their own without sacrificing the follower. I say let the wanna-be leader follow their path alone and don't let them lie to you and tell you the only other option is the monotonous life of the mortal.
