"Two roads diverged in a wood and I took the less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." This famous quote by American poet Robert Frost needs to be reflected upon, every now and then. Think about when - in the course of your life - you found yourself facing two different "roads", i.e. ideas, beliefs, behaviors. Try to remember which one you chose to walk upon. What did you do when you felt offended, ignored, or unjustly treated by someone else? Was your reaction an angry one or did you choose to accept and forgive? Recall any situations where you had the choice between being aggressive, judgmental, overbearing, selfish or remaining calm, understanding, humble, caring. Most human beings usually opt for the easier "road", the one suggested by their proud and self-centered 'ego'. Not many decide to venture on the less traveled path, where the company is scarse. What about you?
