An Analogy of Life

So this is an analogy I thought of as I was walking past the Wilkinson Center.

Life has many roads that we come across. Some of them are right ones but some of them are not. We don't know which one we need to choose. We think we know which way to go to but we aren't sure.

Each road has a rope you can hold onto to get to wherever it leads you. Maybe there's an end but you hold onto it tight until you get to the end. Of course, you will have a rope burn and you might be disappointed that it didn't lead you anywhere but it's OK because you can still choose another road and the rope burn will heal. You will only be left with a scar that will remind you of a mistake you made.
Another road will take you somewhere. Even on this road, you would hold onto this rope tight because you feel this is the right thing to do but you don't know where it will lead you. Are you afraid of the rope burn? Are you afraid that it will lead you to a dead end? Are you afraid that it's a wrong road? Any of those matters because the rope burn will heal and there are still many roads you can take. I am going to hold onto this rope and see where it will take me. I don't care if it will burn me or lead me nowhere. I know it will take me somewhere and I want to know how it ends and where it will take me.
