Our choices define other choices. If we choose one path, we may not precisely see where that leads, but we do see we are faced with the choices based upon our previous decisions.

We may feel we are faced with a 'door of opportunity' ...or we could say, 'opportunity is knocking'.  The steps we must take may be clear.  It may even be exciting ...why would we ever want to turn back?

But there are shadows, and corners ...and we don't know for sure what may be lurking, nor what actually does lie behind that door.

Perhaps we feel the best course is to follow where the majority have gone ...you know, comfort in numbers. Yet, there is something about a light being a lamp unto my feet.  And I am not too comfortable about going a way based solely upon numbers. There is something about 'wide is the path to destruction'.  Just maybe if we didn't put our light under a bushel, the majority would not go the destructive route.
