Door #1, #2, or both?

Where'd all this come from, I wonder.

This pair of choices comes from a short story by Frank Stockton, "The Lady, or the Tiger?" See http://www.andover.edu/english/words/ladytext.html.

And what a wonderful story it is. I still feel sorry for the guy down there. Which door, one or two? Both are death, because the king won't ever let this guy live.

I, on the other hand, refuse to let my fate fall into the power of some "semi-barbaric king," just for some choices I've made.

My choice is my fate, and I accept that.
