Long and narrow, is a pretty easy path.
compared to:
Philippians 4:13 --- I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, aloop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success.
I choose the loooooooooooong and narrow. But the curved can be obtained.

The short and crooked is the easiest, it's made that for a reason, Satan knows that he has to make his way easier in order to gain followers.
The long and narrow of course is the best. God did not intend for it to be the hardest that's just the way it works out. Living a life filled with Godly ways will increase your days here on earth, the narrow is the ways of the world putting up road blocks in hopes that we will stumble and loose our way.
Take an example of every day life..If you want a new car to drive and enjoy; 1. You could steal one...of course, you will only enjoy it till your caught and then you will go to jail.
2.You get a job and pay for it...it takes longer, but you can enjoy it until you run the wheels off of it or you decide to buy another one.
It's the same aspect with our soul, if we really want the best outcome we have to work for it.

The long and narrow takes a conscious effort to stay on the straight and true.
Walking the short and crooked doesn't take an effort.

To walk the long and narrow road cause it's the way to eternal life and wide is the way that lead to destruction. The short and crooked way God will make straight. In otherwords there is no short and crooked way to get no-wher and this is a bibical view of answering your question.

The long and narrow is the easier of the two.............. When your walking down a long and narrow path, you really have no where to stray.........When your walking down a short and crooked path, you have to find your way. There's plenty of room, but no correct way.

It's easier to walk the short and crooked road but it's not the wisest.

Easier?!..depends on what perspective you have...easy here is to just "go with the flow"..but looking through the eyes of eternity...I'll take the narrow anytime..that's the road that leads me home..to the loving arms of my Savior..my God..and my King.
be blessed
