If There Were Two Paths...
If there were a crossroads before you, one leading to safety, security but status quo living with it's high potential for occasional boredom and dreariness and the other road with danger warnings saying "Go back", "You Risk All You Ever Have", "Adventure", "Danger"... or the road less traveled,with no clear path, and lots of obsticals with no way of knowing before hand what you might encounter around the next bend, be it great misery or great reward... or stay right where you are because it is familiar and you know what to expect and even if it is a rut it is a comfortable rut... Hope, Opportunity, Choice....
Which road would YOU take? Tell us why?
dot-matrix:
I'm a safety and security girl myself. No adrenlin rushes for me, heck I don't even like riding rollercoasters and I only like being scared witless in the abstract. Stephen King is enough for me. I don't mind a little boredom ocassionally because I know that this too shall pass. I've always had a very highly definded sense of responsiblity especially to my family. I guess you could call me the duitiful daughter, putting Mom and Dad's needs before my own when the time came but now that I have my life back I don't want to risk it or what I have with Bob for ANYTHING.
David In Indy:
Adventure!!!
Definately adventure Dottie! I LOVE an adventure!! :D
Kerry:
I voted for "Stay where you are," but I think I got that wrong. What I meant was that I would prefer to travel along the path I am presently on. Can I change my vote?
I am very happy and comfortable with the life I have. I don't like adrenalin. I love the status quo. I don't readily take to change. Four of the most valued things in my life are peace, tranquility, centredness and balance. I don't even like excitement in the abstract.
The highlights in my life are doing lunch, going to the cinema, visiting friends, reading a good novel, painting and logging onto BetterMost.
Thrill seeker? No, that's not me.
serious crayons:
I picked "I'm confused." Because "Adventure" sounds good. but "Risk all you have"? Not so much.
I do like adventure, and would often pick it over safety and security, at least hypothetically. But in a measured way. I mean, I'd probably take a year off and travel around the world. But I probably wouldn't sell all my possessions and buy a sail boat and learn to sail and sail around the world by myself in an effort to break a record for solo sailing.
So in answer to your question, I guess I'd wind up just standing there like the guy in the picture.
