Journey and destination
by abhayan payyanur
Life is so dynamic that it
poses us newer problems in each moment. Unless we are mindful enough, we will
miss the golden chance to know these unique questions let alone seek answers to
it, in each moment of our life. Joy comes then when we find solutions to each
of these problems and unlock new life experiences.
But these pleasures of accomplishments are so short living as the very next moment itself life gives us another set of problems. Is it for these good feelings of short duration that we live our whole long life for? It’s a huge waste of time then living this life! Can there be any other source which can fill our life for much longer duration comparable to our life time, with happiness, satisfaction and all those other good feelings?
Our way of life, way of addressing/solving these problems is one such I guess. If the process of solving a problem, our approach, itself gives us all these good feelings whether we achieve the final goal or not, then I feel this life is worth living for. Hence the path is much more important than the destination I feel. How else could super Mario manage to smile in the video game then?
