  1. I love "The Road Not Taken." Frost was wicked though. It pertains to the difficulty of this issue succinctly. The choice was not clear, in the end, it seemed like a coin toss. And that has made all the difference. :)

  2. Some people can't help but take the road less travelled. It sometimes leads to more happiness, Peter Chatain.

  3. What I meant by "coin toss" is that in the poem the decision is not clear as he ponders it. There is no evidence that one will bring more happiness. I have chosen the road less travelled before and probably will again, as it was one of the best things I have ever done. This is not for everyone. There are often both rewards and consequences. For many people, security is more important. Some are heard animals and lack the inclination. There is nothing wrong in that.

  4. I had not thought of this excellent interpretation, John Stockwell Major Smedley Butler. The fact that we are more controlled by our unconscious than conscious minds makes your comment seem correct. Man, that guy was profound.

  5. This is an excellent point, Robert Binner. Also, one can be "true to oneself" and end up in good legal trouble. In his poem, Frost only says "and that has made all the difference." To me, this implies that for all we know, he could be writing from some hell.
