Of all the beautiful paths in this world, there is none so alluring as the one that smugly declares - that *you* are not welcome. No grass so green as the one that you are not allowed to tread upon..
I thought I wanted this change. For so long. Now, when its forced on me - why doesn't it seem quite so sweet ?
Middle age comes quite early in life :). If you don't know what I mean, you haven't read the unrest cure by Saki, and much the poorer for it ! ;)
Also the question remains - what happens once you decide to skip past the stop sign ? Is the path so green any more ?

I haven't read this story by Saki, and perhaps I am unable to relate to middle age arriving early! :-)
It is a nice post, and is getting me to think about the path that you are *actually* referring to.
Take care.
