There are many variants of choices we have to make in life, some are nugatory and facile choices to make, while others are hard and may transmute our lives thoroughly. In the poems “If” by Rudyard Kipling and “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost, each poet captures the essence of how consequential choices are.
