THE PATH LESS TRAVELLED BY

Robert Frost once wrote, "two roads diverged on a yellow road,and sorry i could not travel both"
Just like Robert Frost we are all faced by choices. He chose the path less travelled by and that made all the difference.
We choose everyday. We choose to take ten extra minutes of sleep in the morning before work or class. We choose to take the bus or the matatu to work or school. We also choose who we are going to be with. What we cannot choose sadly, is who we fall in love with. However, we can choose to tell and show them our deep affection. We can choose to move on and not let the fact that they do not reciprocate our feelings the way we want them to stall our lives. We can also choose to stay true to them if they do reciprocate our feelings. We did not choose to be human but we can choose to treat them as so. We can choose to embrace their faults as we would like them do ours. when they wrong us, we can choose to forgive. When it doesn't work out, we can choose to move on.
An author once wrote, the heart has no pain receptors, that it is all in the mind that our feelings have been "hurt" that only means we choose to wallow and be bitter and hurl hurtful things at the "culprits" or that we choose to let the mind be controlled by a momentary lapse of sanity. It is true, some of the things humans choose to do to others are unthinkably inhuman, but thinking of them and hating them and grudgingly speaking of them is a choice that will only stall you. Choose to move on. Choose to be the bigger person always and gracefully hold your head up high and venture into the unknown.
Isn't that what life is about?
