Choice

At any given time, there are many choices available to us.

Choices make our life interesting and give us the heady feeling of power.

Yet choices can also overwhelm us by their very abundance.

Each choice has pros and cons, and the concept of Choice itself has its ups and downs.

Such is the interesting nature of our lives.

Its inevitable to Choose, and accept the inevitable downsides while enjoying the highs of each choice.

Robert Frost immortalised the conundrum of Choice in the lines:

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.
