The Candlelit Path

There was once two paths to take. One was a very dark and foggy path filled with muddines, traps and hurdles. The fog was so bad that you couldn't even see the road ahead nor your own hand. However, there was another path filled with light and a nice shiny present at the end. It was a short path. Nice and clear, and you could see to the path's end.

Which path will you choose?
