Remember, life is a short journey

#newdaynewchapter is a Blog narrative started on March 1, 2021 co-founded by Kishore Shintre & Sonia Bedi, to write a new chapter everyday for making "Life" and not just making a "living"
Let us have this story to start with. An elderly woman got on a bus and sat down. At the next stop, a strong, grumpy young lady climbed up and sat down beside the old woman, hitting her with her numerous bags. When she saw that the elderly woman remained silent, the young woman asked her why she had not complained when she hit her with her bags?
The elderly woman replied with a Smile: "There is no need to be rude or discuss something so insignificant, as my trip next to you is so short, because I am going to get off at the next stop." This answer deserves to be written in gold letters: "There is no need to discuss something so insignificant, because our journey together is too short." Each of us must understand that our time in this world is so short. That darkening it with useless arguments, jealousy, not forgiving others, discontentment and bad attitudes are a ridiculous waste of time and energy. Did someone break your heart? Stay calm. The trip is too short. Did someone betray, intimidate, cheat or humiliate you? Relax. Don't stress. The trip is too short.
Life is a journey, not a single journey but a series of journeys. Journey refers to the act of travelling from one place to another. In a life journey you travel from birth (one place) to death (other place). Between birth and death, you have small journeys to be accomplished until we reach the final destination. The small journeys include schooling, graduating, working and so on. In the road of journey there are ups and downs, excitement, both joy and pleasure. Likewise in life we have ups and downs, excitement, both joy and pleasure.
Remember the end of the journey is always sad as we miss the pleasure of the journey. Likewise the death is always to be feared. A lot of times I ponder the meaning of life. The very essence of birth and death gives us only one meaning which is applicable to everything we see in our lifetime - There is a starting and an ending point. In that essence yes life is a journey full of experiences that has a shelf life. You will meet many people, undergo transformational experiences. The thing to keep along while you go on this journey is to keep the child alive in you.
We are always curious to know things as a child. To make this journey more enjoyable, keep the child flame alive in you, and be curious and enthusiastic. At the end, we all only left with sweet memories to remember and cherish. Life is journey with full of experience of small journeys like you can complete education but knowledge can never be completed, you always passenger till the death who is gaining knowledge.
Although through experiences and accident, marriage is also not a destination, is a journey where you improve your relationship time by time, every happiness is a little break, and sadness an adventure Till the death whatever happens we can't stop laugh, eat, sleep because life is moving on, life is going and we are watching scenery through the window sit, sometime I feel I am alone, tired sitting on bench in crowded railway station waiting for the train ! And journey goes on… goes on. ! Cheers!
