It's the time of graduations and many minds turn to Frost. Frost seems to be a popular theme at graduations, largely due to his poem that I ...adjusted... below. I'm sure you've read it and seen the contradictions that people pull from it to enhance their speeches. As you may notice, it seems as if the roads not taken are more focused upon in the poem than the speeches. And that seems to be the problem with many people, myself included. Instead of thinking ahead, of ways to make your walk, or run heaven forbid, of life more interesting, we think of the paths we don't take. Those forbidden treks into lands we dare not let ourselves enjoy for fear they would corrupt us into happiness. Only in daydreams and fantasies are these unrealities truly possible. And feasibility is suprisingly not the culprit. It's the walkers who choose their ways that are to blame (of course, I use the word "choose" loosely).
But such is the way of imagination. If's, but's, could's plague one's mind. Eh, you'll have to wait until next time...
