'The Road Not Taken'
Mind map (Simple)
Philosophical/Hidden
meaning
Just like the roads, choices in our lives sometimes look equally appealing.
We must weigh the pros and cons and choose carefully
The two roads are our two choices.
This is because we cannot undo our choice and most likely won't ever be able to make the other choice again. We often feel sad that we can't take both paths.
The situation the traveler is in represents the times in our lives that we must make important decisions.
