"what's the world’s greatest lie? " the boy asked, completely surprised. "it's this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. that's the world's greatest lie." "that's never happened to me," the boy said. "they wanted me to be a priest, but i decided to become a shepherd." which evidence from the passage best develops the allegory that people should pursue their personal legend? the surprising statement from the old man develops the idea that pursuing one’s dreams is a lie. the remark about fate shows that one cannot fight against a force that controls the world. the mention of the archetype of the shepherd develops the allegory. this boy's experiences and choices develop the idea that one is in control of his or her destiny.'
