Which Way to Choose?

The following is one of my favorite poems about choices in life, decisions and consequences.

As life is a journey, decisions have to be made daily. Which way to choose, which direction to go? Do we choose our paths in life or maybe - they choose us?

What if we had made a different choice? Or the result would have been the same anyway...?

Amazing metaphorical poem that beautifully highlights self-reflection and contemplation of dilemmas.

The Road Not Taken

^{BY ROBERT FROST}

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.
