Life is full of precluded possibilities.
There are times when you stand at the crossroads in life and peer at the two paths in front of you.
The first path continues along your current walkway. Stable and well-trod. The second path forks out away from the current walkway. Unknown and mysterious.
As you peer ahead at the second path, the thick fog of possibility shrouds your vision. You can barely see a few meters into the second path.
However, as you stare longer, you begin to see the rewards and dreams that you have been waiting for. You start to get excited because the second path offers a lot more than the first path and is the one that you have looking for.
However, as you stare longer, you start to wonder if you were just imagining things. Perhaps those rewards and dreams aren't really there. Perhaps the second path isn't there at all. Perhaps the patrolling demons of failure and despair are waiting to tear you apart the minute you step foot onto the second path.
As you stand there and wrestle with your indecision, time flows on. You have to make a decision, one way or another.
Question is, which path do you 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.
Robert Frost
Life's short. Take the second path and slay the demons. More XP that way. :P
Mela: That is nice bit of poem. We shall see if the second path does actually exist first. :)
Green Ogre: Lol... :D Yes yes, can gain more XP. If only leveling up will help me in real life. >.<
