"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference." (Robert Frost)
How many times, in your life, have you chosen the road that everybody else was walking on because it was “easier”? Remember the situations when you chose to act selfishly because you were only thinking of your own benefit. Remember the situations when you couldn’t resist feeling superior to someone weaker, when you followed the shove of pride, of anger, envy, blame, resentment… That was certainly the easiest way to behave because you were pleasing your “ego” - and this is what you usually prefer doing. Besides, you also have big company! Choosing the other “road”, the one where you act selflessly, where you are humble, patient, understanding is certainly more difficult. As usual, the choice is all yours!
