Take the Road Never Taken



 In the world, the behaviour of human being can be dual: mutual dependence and over dependence. Human beings are mutual dependent beings. It means that the other person is important. Dependency is good in as much it fulfills the lack. Human beings are over-dependent and that is what makes the human being weak. In other words, the human being cannot do anything without the other. This over dependency is so much to the extent that one cannot take decision for his/her own life. Thus, human being is never a different person. He is lost in the crowd.
            Take the road never taken’ only means to be independent, to believe in the self, to be confident of the self, and to be different. It is a call to prepare your own path for your own life. This road sure, if it exists, never escapes opposition, objection from the other. But remember it is the personal contribution to the society. This contribution is something new that inaugurates new hope, new enthusiasm, new life and what not. The one example that summarizes the above is Mahatma Gandhi. He, in his life couraged himself to inaugurate the new path of non-violence, which did fetch him unfriendliness, hostility, resistance and antagonism. But, he never gave up.
