The Grid of Life


If we all could look at our lives from an aerial view, it would show us the most fascinating network of paths leading to different destinations… or are there destinations? All our paths are forked and it’s the choices we make in life that determine our way ahead. Our destiny and fate may decide the number and kind of choices we get in life, but it is only we who decide which one to put on faith in; the faith that this path will lead me to a future that I desire. That why I think there would be no destinations in this network grid. Imagine the number of permutations and combinations possible with every choice that we have, and with every decision leading to a different path. But do we really live for the destination? I think not… after all u spend most of your time on the path. Nobody ever stops walking on the path unless they rest on their death bed.
What if we get a chance to see how our life would be had we made different choices. I’m thinking for most of our choices we would still want to follow the path we did, even if it wasn’t too pleasant; because we are more comfortable with the known than the unknown.
