Dear Mr. Frost.

Dear Mr. Frost,

Many times in life you encounter a situation where you have to make a decision. A decision that is not easy to make because you may regret the thing you decide or because it will mark you for the rest of your life. Having read your poem The Path Not Taken made me think about this because the story you narrate represents how humans actually make their own decisions, in this case having to choose between two options. When the time comes for us two choose many things take over us and create an impact in the decisions we choose: our emotions, our rationality, and our freewill. In the end the decision we make is our own choice, even if some things affected us, we are the ones that make the decision because we are capable of it. As I said in my handbook “the things that are not up to us, are weak, enslaved, hindered, not our own.” Our decisions are up to us, that is why we must think well before deciding but in then end the choice we make is the one we want because our choice and judgment made us chose it. We should not worry about our decision and if we ever regret it we should remember that is was our own choice, therefore blame nobody but ourselves. Hope you find this letter enriching and up to some point agree with me.

Kind Regards,

Epictetus.
