Ethics: Making Good Choices in Life

Meema library

This is a story about different kinds of choices we make in life, some of them being more consequential than others.  Some choices are primarily a matter of taste.  Others may be more connected with where we grow up, community and identity.  And others are more personal.

Robert Frost narrates two stanzas from his poem, "The Road Not Taken", a classic poem examining the choice between two roads that diverged in a wood, one of which was apparently "less traveled by."  And it made all the difference.

But was it "less traveled by?"  And if it wasn't, what is it exactly that "made all the difference?"

Story usage

Coke or Pepsi?  Yankees or Red Sox?  Neither?

Foods you love (or hate) to eat.

Actors and actresses you love to love (or hate).  Music.  Films.  

Anything is fair game.

But you can also take this piece in a more personal direction.  See "The Road Not Taken" for a complete recording of Frost's poem.
