Life is like a road. There are long and short roads; smooth and rocky roads; crooked and straight paths. In our life, many roads will come our way as we journey through life. There are roads that lead to a life of single blessedness, marriage, and religious vocation. There are also roads that lead to fame and fortune on one hand, or isolation and poverty on the other. There are roads that lead to happiness, as there are roads leading to sadness. Roads leading towards victory, success, jubilation and roads leading to defeat and disappointment.
