forks in the road
    #14215805 - 03/31/11 04:40 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

What is your typical decision making process when you see a fork at an important point on the road of life? Is it a coin toss? Or is there an analysis based on potentials, and if so, what is valuable in such an analysis?

According to Kermit, you should turn left:



On a more serious note, for me I'm coming from the opposite way - I spent so much time over-analysing/agonising over these sorts of things that the road of life became not much fun to travel so now I'm a lot more whimsical about these types of decisions.

I get super-confused when there is a spork in the road. It is like a Zen Koan.

What's really confuses me is chop sticks in the road. :what:

Republican Values:

1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you.
2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child.
3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

When you come to a fork in the road, take it! :laugh:

I'll often read this poem...

Quote:


Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
and sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, 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 feet 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 travelled by,
and that has made all the difference

--Robert Frost





... then reflect on previous forks and consider my current level of satisfaction.  I pause a moment to remember the recurring sense I get that things couldn't have worked out any better; those moments where every hardship and joy falls into perspective as a building block toward who I am.

Then I go with what :feelsgoodman:

what makes a choice?

you can make a choice at any time.

but to truly make a choice is to devote yourself entirely to it. when i see two paths and i CHOOSE one, the other is lost forever.

to travel a path is to go somewhere you havent been before. uncharted terrain.


you can move around the world but never make the choice to travel somewhere new.

you can make the choice right now in your room and your life will never be the same.


the strange thing about choice is it seems, you only truly ever get to make one.
