Imagine the scenario. You've been walking for some time along a familar path. Some spots along the way have flowers, some display thorny weeds and potholes. It's a generally satisfying walk, with light breeze and bunnies hopping beside you. Nothing too exciting... just nice and relaxing, for most of the time.
But suddenly, you come to a junction. The path splits ahead of you. On the left is a continuation promising the same walk, with nothing else to be seen in the horizon. Same bunnies, same light breeze, same potholes and same flower spots. A continuous long walk, with the possibility of the path taking a circular route and ending at the same junction.
On the right, the trail dissapears into a mist. You have no idea what's behind that mist- happy endings or sad... darkness or light. You don't know if the path ends at a steep drop or if it goes on to an end. And you're not too sure if you're feeling adventurous enough to find out, either, since all the walking has put you into a comfort zone, and there's really nothing wrong for you to need to choose a different direction in the first place.
So... which direction do you take? A lifetime of the same scenery, or something you have no idea about, that quite possibly ends in failure?

I've taken the misty road a couple of times....still a bit surprised at the fact taht I'm still alive and (marginally) sane...good luck with ur pick!
you know what Frost said..
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference"
I obviously cant give any sort of proper prophetic wise statement because
1. I dont know exactly what you're going through
2. Im probably not prophetic or smart enough either :D
What I would do is go down the misty road. Even if it turns out to be just the access road to the Highway to Hell again, Id say Id be better off having done that and adding it to the list of things Ive done.
