Have you ever felt like you were in a room with a thousand doors surrounding you?
You don’t know which one to open?
I’m in a room with a thousand doors surrounding me. Only one door leads to the right path.
But every door I have opened so far has been the wrong one.
Every one I have opened leads down the wrong path.
On each of these paths, many bad things happen. Misfortunes.
Someone says or does something that hurts someone, or I do something that hurts someone else.
It seems like nothing ever goes right.
These paths can cause a great deal of pain as well. Someone might die, or a loved one moves away.
You can’t stop it and you can’t prevent it.
The one door that leads to the right path I know I haven’t opened yet.
I don’t know what the right path is like.
I will never know. I will never know what the right path is until I come across it.
The right path could have good and rewarding events down it.
But it could also have the memories of the past.
It might show that you have gotten through all of the tough times in life.
But I don’t know.
I will never know until I have gone through a thousand doors.
A thousand doors I must open.
A thousand doors I must face.
The last one will be the right path…the right path.

its 'the door less taken'
I can feel your pain in this as you search and strain...
I found that the right path was not the one that was easy, it was the hardest.. and still is. But right.

Like this.

You describe an interesting point of awareness.  Life truly is an endless path of choice.

Well done!
