I'd kill for one of this

I was flipping thru my brother’s old issue of Top Gear and I found a tagline of an Alfa Romeo that says "It’s not the destination, it’s the journey that counts".

Something belted my thinking. It is a cliché, life is a journey, and the important thing is the traveling upon the journey, not about arriving at the destination. We might only be able to guess whats gonna happen at our destination, or pray by the Grace of God, but it is the journey, not the destination that it is important to focus our energies upon. But what about our target? Arent we suppose to set a goal in life? What happen to those targets? Arent they as important as the journey itself?

I may say that it is accurate, that life chews you up and spits you out, with absolutely no reward guaranteed.

If we stop and get out and look around, talk to someone, explore the streets, new neurons will form in our brains, we will have new experiences to draw upon. And many of these new experiences will not even be pleasant while we are experiencing them. In a for-the-moment kinda way, they might seem completely worthless and upsetting. Yet, when we have the chance to look back on the journey passed, the life lived, and compare it to the journey as a whole, we can begin to see patterns in the seeming bedlam, we can begin to understand why this bad thing happened, why this uncomfortable moment had to be, and the hard things can be seen as way marks on our journey.

I read one of myspacers post yesterday and he did mention that how human always complain of their angst and misfortune while failed to see that there are lots of people out there who are less fortunate.

I see life, as shaping us, not chewing us up, life is forming us, not destroying us.

So there is a real hope to keep getting up each time we are knocked down. It is not just because we are stubbornly thick-headed (although sometimes this might be all we have), but because there is a bigger reason, we know we are upon a journey, that there is a shape to the journey, and that there is a real reason behind the life we are living, and there is always hope that there will be more good experiences, even while realizing that there will always be the negative side of the journey.

Aight, nuff with brain orgasms… I need to get back to work. Till then. Ciao.
