life...ah life

Riding on my bike on the way to the campus where I work I was just thinking about the choices we have in life and the things we do. I have had friends who have been globe trotters and people who have lived their entire lives within a small fixed radius of a city and never moving out of that. I cant help wondering who is missing out on life the earlier or the latter. I am constantly being pulled on both sides I like to call them the Romantic/Adventurer and the Practical. Not everybody has the liberty to select between the two some are forced to choose one for whatever reasons family committment being one of them. Thats where I cant decide am I a Romantic or Practical person (I dont like using the word cynic it has a negative connotation). With these thoughts I reached my office and I get a mail from a good friend of mine with this image kind of solved the whole thing for me...
