The road less traveled

Robert Frost—“I took the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” Life is full of choices and paths for one to take. The “what’s” and “what if’s” always haunt us in our decisions. There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end leads to destruction.
Why does the easy, fun path seem so good to follow? It appears so bright and inviting to anyone that gazes at it too long. The endless call to choose its way entraps many an errant traveler.
The easier road is wider and grassier than that narrow path. Many are on this wide path. From the pagan to the religious, both travel together unaware of each other’s presence. Can anyone change his path?
The road less traveled is narrow and it seems impossible to stay on this path. This road is not easy to access or obvious to busy travelers. The narrow path is full of pit falls and sheer drops to scare the would-be traveler straight.
