How does the poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" relate to a human being's life?

In "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," the horse in the poem thinks it's strange that the narrator is stopping in an unusual place to look at the snowfall. The horse is impatient to get on, but the narrator lingers where he can watch the snow fall in the woods. This episode relates to the way in which human beings often live without really looking around. The owner of the farmhouse is not there to see the lovely woods during the snowfall, and the horse, unaccustomed to stopping, is eager to get moving. Similarly, people like to remain on their usual paths and do not often take time or stop their routines to smell the figurative roses. As a result, people often miss out on seeing beautiful and inspiring sights or experiencing something new and transcendent.
