The Road Taken
Go to Zine5 Interactive

Life is a load of choices. You always have options before you like a deck of cards. From how you want to look, to selecting your partner for life, you have umpteen options, that is, if you look for them. Well, if you haven't found them after looking, it could only mean you didn't look carefully enough. For most of the time, opportunities are expertly hidden in seemingly impossible corners of the Universe - your Universe.

Once you have found the options, you have to decide. And this is where life squeezes itself, cuts down its range of choices and becomes a simple binary - a simple YES or a simple NO; or a simple THIS or a simple THAT. Tell me how could it get any simpler than this? If you think you had made a bad choice, do not regret. In all probabilities, the road not taken has just as many thorns and perils as this one.

If there are thousand regrets this year, there can only be more in the next. No doubt, having these regrets would be the greatest of them all. So, give regrets and guilt their rightful place - the compost bucket. After all, you still have a truckload of choices to start with. Again.

Life is always ready to surprise you with the sheer number of surprises it has in store for you. Be ready for the surprises. Enjoy making your choices! Enjoy your existence - in your own way!
