Paths

There are two paths ahead of you.
One path is straight and slopes downward. No obstacles in sight.
The other path takes a sharp turn. You can't see beyond the corner.

You are not in a hurry.
After all, you are there to enjoy the journey.
Why bother with the mysterious path?

So, you choose the first path.
Sure enough, you safely make it to the end.

Two paths appear before you.
Once again, one leads to the known, while the other to the unknown.

This time, you want to explore.
This time, you choose the second path.

Rocks. Cliffs. Dangerous animals.
The path is full of perils and surprises.
Yet, you make it to the end.

Two paths appear before you.
Once again, one leads to the known, while the other to the unknown.

This time, you know exactly which path to take.
