"Our Journey Together is so Short"

"Our Journey Together is so Short"

While sitting and waiting, I was reflecting on a young lady I once saw in the MRT train. At the next stop a loud and grumpy old lady came in and sat by her. She squeezed into the seat and bumped her with her numerous bags.  

The person sitting on the other side of the young lady got upset, asked her why she did not speak up and say something. 

The young lady responded with a smile:  

"It is not necessary to be rude or argue over something so insignificant, the journey together is so short. I get off at the next stop."

This response deserves to be written in golden letters: 

"It is not necessary to argue over something so insignificant, our journey together is so short" 

If each one of us realized that our time here is so short; that to darken it with quarrels, futile arguments, gossiping and not forgiving others, discontentment and a fault finding attitude would be a waste of time and energy. 

Did someone break your heart?  *Be calm, the journey is so short.* 

Did someone betray, bully, cheat or humiliate you?  *Be calm, forgive, the journey is so short.* 

Whatever troubles anyone brings us, let us remember that *our journey together is so short.* 

No one knows the duration of this journey. No one knows when their stop will come.

After all, *Our Journey Together is so Short*

Live and enjoy , care and share with each other and value the time together, for our journey together is so short!

Sombre. Magnanimous.
