I'm with you, the straight and narrow.
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
Matthew 7:13-14

Uh, it sounds like the straight and narrow path would be easier, since it's STRAIGHT!! It's the winding path with many cross roads that will be more difficult, but definitely more interesting and probably a lot more rewarding for the journey. Also, remember that any path is going to be more difficult if it is not mapped out for you by some "higher" authority, since it always takes more energy to think for one's self.

There are RARELY two choices. There are many.
I suppose by the straight and narrow you mean belief in Christ. I would have to disagree with you if that is your meaning. The straight and narrow is an easy path. It demands belief, and possibly demands that you follow rules. There is nothing too hard about that except that you might not follow a rule now and then.
The difficult path is to live spontaneously, knowing that your purpose here is to live for this life not to live for the hereafter.

I take the windy crooked path so that I might be able to have an accurate opinion about the nature of the valley. Straight and narrow tends to leave a lot of exploring out of the picture. It is like driving to the library and just watching the road verses walking and surveying the landscape, and admiring all that there is.

I have taken the narrow path, but my problem is I keep looking back and eyeing the easy path.

Easy as that. Some people cannot see the forest from the trees.
You are either coming or going. Live for something worth living, not for selfish pleasure.

It sounds like you're taking the easy path. You really could be clearer. What exactly are you telling us? More to the point, what exactly are you asking us?

According to "Thomas the Rhymer" there are three ways:
"Don't you see yon narrow, narrow road,
So thick beset with thorns and briars?
That is the road to righteousness,
Though after it but few enquire."
"Don't you see yon broad, broad road,
Lying lies across the lily leaven?
That is the road to wickedness,
Though some call it the road to heaven."
"Don't you see yon bonnie, bonnie road,
Lying across the ferny brae?
That is the road to fair Elfland,
Where you and I this night must go."
Anyone for the Third Way?

Good for you, dollface.
I'll keep flying the flags of discontent on the broad avenue of ideas. It's more fun and I learn more stuff.

I think I like my world view to be a little broader than a black and white yes or no world.
Also, Chices is not a word.
