The serious conflict in this poem is the choice that one often comes across in his lifetime. Man gets many opportunities in life. He gets an opportunity to choose between them. The decision that he has to take is important as it can change his whole life. He can’t retrace his steps once he starts moving on the path he has taken. So, one must make a choice after weighing the pros and cons of the opportunities that life shows in one’s path. It is none the less important to stick to the decision once taken. Risks involved will help him stand out in the crowd.
