The story "The Road Less Travelled" reflects on the author's discussions with friends and acquaintances about the meaning of life. Different individuals provide varying perspectives, such as life being about earning money, family service, or societal contributions. The author finds deeper understanding through reading the Bhagavad Gita, realizing that life is complex and rooted in the principles of karma, where our actions shape our destinies. The narrative critiques the common teaching that avoiding difficulties is safer, suggesting that this mindset leads to hesitance in children, who grow up avoiding challenges and relying on others for decision-making. The author argues that this approach can hinder personal growth and competence, as seen in graduates struggling with basic tasks despite their academic achievements. Ultimately, the author encourages embracing challenges and questioning whether the safest option is always the best. The underlying message is to confront difficulties head-on and develop one's instincts and abilities, rather than succumbing to the fear of failure.
