Among my most "favorite" expressions is the famous "My way or the highway". Aside from the obvious arrogance and lack of proper manners it betrays, it's a sign of non really existing but marching "boldness". Many times I've tried to explain to people there is a significant chance they are placing their bet on the wrong number. Imagine, there are some of us who actually like highways. We would choose the highway any time. Imagine there are those of us who feel free on the highway and not on your way because your way may turn out to be a narrow sidewalk walking which we can't breathe. Sadly, those people never think of this possibility in advance. They feel in "control" declaring such dusty phrases.
But, as Frank Sinatra once sang, "I've travelled each and every highway, And more,much more than this, I did it my way." Which would be priceless if it didn't turn into a war. But it does. Then comes the inevitable reflection and the equation's final result is not always positive. May be sometimes it's worth abandoning all roads, highways and sidewalks and hit the woods. Without a direction or a path ahead. If only both sides could swallow the pride and the unnecessary words. If you can.

Or it may be just holidays approaching (again!) and against all traditions I'm becoming more stubborn and not at all embracing the Christmas spirit.
