My favorite piece of art would be Robert Frost's work "The road not taken." It is one of the most popular poem in modern era. His initial intention of this work is to joke with his close friend who is the other poet. It is the narrative poetry, talking about the time when he walked into the wood and found two roads to be chosen. As he was thinking about taking the first road, he felt hesitation whether it's going the be the right path. But whether or not he needed to choose anyway to continue his journey. At the end, he tells the reader the the less travel path was chosen. But he still thought that he would be coming back to take the other choice someday.
No one know what is the real meaning of the work he wrote except the writer himself. For my own interpretation, I think the poem reflects the real life situation that anybody in this world can relate to. Life is about making the decision and get rid of the other options. We don't know what life will bring or what we will be encountered in the future. Whether you want to choose or not, you need to make a careful decision in order to continue your journey anyway. We may regret of the path we have already taken but no one could really know if it's better or worse, comparing to the other options. The less travel path would be easy to travel but it might not be the best path, vice versa.
