I’ve been thinking about the roads not taken. Thru his writing, Richard Bach, talks about the different roads our “other selves” take with every decision we make. With every “fork” on the road, the decisions we make determine the life we live! That’s always been my philosophy. I also believe that the destination is never as important as the journey there because, Life is all about the journey!
The show Sliders, a favorite of mine in the 90s, perfectly depicted the concept of alternate realities. I’ve had dreams about specific “forks on the road” in my life. And I’ve seen how they fair on both directions of the choices, like a computer, analyzing every option before actually following a choice. As a computer programmer, one generate flowcharts to evaluate every possibility in our code. We are the ones that design the solutions. In a way, we create the worlds that one will follow depending on the options taken.
Once in a while, I find myself wondering how the decisions I didn’t make are fairing in their alternate world as compared to my world of choices. One may think I’m living in regret, however all I’m saying is, I sometimes wonder.
