A choice between two things. The forked road, a crossroad are an end 
given life must take in order to stay alive. Whichever end they live 
on, they lose something. Whichever end they live on, they are unable to 
find happiness, but are there really only two paths to a forked road? 
No, there are infinite paths we must take. There is more than one path. 
There is more than one path to the future.- Vash
