I have always been into poetry. Not in the passionate. Like we all are little bit in the stars. We don't look up too often but when we do its always a pleasure. One of the earliest Poems I have read was The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. It had some impact on me. So when five years later facebook asked me to jot down my favorite quote I immediately wrote down.
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
Since then I have changed that quote. And since life is a constant flow of choices and outcomes. Not that its the individual who takes that decision. I have almost have a healthy laugh on the above lines. What is choice? I am learning these days through meditation what does is mean to be aware of emotions and what it takes not let them control your life decisions. And I believe that is my choice. I have read somewhere that "You cannot control anything but the choices you make" and I wonder even if I one gets to control that too. We don't get to control shit.
The road that is not taken is also an information you have from your visual senses. Maybe both road are the same and you have some certain bias towards the one and hence you go less travelled by. Even if it is less traveled. Who freakin said that the less travelled roads lead to better places. Some other poet you might have read in your childhood or some old man must have told you. Who get to say that this is your decision. And as if it matters, what is the difference, you are talking about. Difference from all the other people. Is it good to be different? Maybe it is good. Patani kya likha rah meh... :/
