Why the heck is the road less traveled supposed to be so great? Could it be that there's a reason that it's

Question

less traveled?

Answer 1

Everyone walks their own path in life and many take the beaten path because it is the path of less resistance and usually has a visual end.  The road less traveled, while not clear due to lack of travel, may actually be the most fulfilling because it may fit your values and desires.

Answer 2

Rerety produces value.

Put this into any construct you like and see if it holds true.

Answer 3

The road traveld on more has heavy traffic not because it is better, but because it is full of followers, those who don't like to think on there own. They just allow their GPS system to guide them.

The road less traveled is only driven by those who make there own paths and do not conform or follow.  They throw their maps out the window and take risks. Few people are willing to do this...thus the road is wide open.

Answer 4

Had that road led to gold,  in no time it would be much traveled. The reason why it is less traveled is that the treasure to be found there is not translatable into gold and riches, it renders gold and riches worthless, and few are those who are ready for the exchange in values - hence few are the travelers there.

Answer 5

I only know about the book, written by  M.Scott Peck, M.D. in 1978. And it talks about an physiological road that is very difficult to travel and stay on.  It is hard, unforgiving, and merciless, but the end of the road is total bliss. Nobody likes that road because only a few of us are adventurers, the rest follow the multitude like sheep.

Peace.

If I'm not mistaken it starts: "So you think life is fair?"

Answer 6

hmm.. thanks for making me think :)

Answer 7

the road is less traveled because no one dares to let himself/herself go into it. maybe because most are afraid to experience such. that's why if one person dares to go through it, he/she may find it very great.... an experience that is worth everything......

Answer 10

Are you talking about the poem by Robert Frost? I ask because if you read it, nowhere does it say that the road less traveled is any better. In fact, in the last stanza, he says that he shall be telling about the road less traveled "with a sigh," perhaps implying that the road less traveled is not so great. However, people like to interpret the poem as meaning that taking the road less traveled is better because then you can encourage individuality and all that jazz.

Also, there is a book about psychology by that name. From what I got when I read part of it, it was about how choices empower people, and that is a great idea.

I don't really know which you are talking about.
