The dilemma of choice....

How so often in our life we are confronted with the agonizing decision of making a choice..? One of my favorite poems by Robert Frost elucidates this in such a beautiful manner!

I love this poem..."The road not taken" .....And it is so true....How easy it is to be swayed and take the road more travelled....But it really takes courage to take the road not taken ....


TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.
