The journey and the destination
Someone reminded me of an old old saying today.
" Life is all about the journey, not the destination"
I always thought that life is all about the destination, not the journey...
Which got me into thinking.. Which is more important?
The journey? or the destination?
I always thought that in order to achieve what you want, to achieve the destination, the goal, it doesn't matter how difficult the journey is, what perils that come in its way or stumbles and roadblocks. Let the journey be bitter but savour the sweetness of your victory in the end when you finally crossed the finish line.
Then again.. is the destination that important? Must we go through a decade of bitterness to reach the destination? Will we still be able to enjoy it afterall these? Will it still be important then? Is it worth it?
Or should we make the journey pleasant all the way and settle at whichever land that the journey leads us to?
Which is more important?
To live for the moment or to aim for the future?
For something tangible or for a promise of hope?
