  • In the poem, the claim that the road taken was the one less traveled is a lie. Both that day appeared the same. Years later, the speaker is trying to justify an arbitrary decision so he invents this "less traveled" excuse. The road not taken was just as good an option and his regret is that, in the case of any situation in which there are 2 equally good choices, we cannot take them both and know what happens. That's life.
