Re:The word “decide” has deadly origins by gumby on Monday May 10, 2021 @09:18AM (#27105658)
In English, the equivalent is often expressed as "The Road not Taken", from Robert Frost's poem of the same name.

The two, though contemporaries, could not be more different in my mind, and that is represented in the clarity of the short statement vs short poem. Yet the underlying loss expressed’ is the same.

(I don't intend to get into lit crit: the last line of the poem heads in an additional direction, but that's the difference between three words and a few hundred)
