You are on a journey.


Yes, I’m on a journey since my birth but don’t know where to. As much as birth is real, I believe after life is also real. Knowing that one day I would be teleported into the afterlife phase but I still continue in my journey thinking as though this physical life is a constant. I’m in the quest to achieve something which I sometimes don’t even know what it is, but I think that’s what life is or maybe not. I don’t know.

Sometimes all I think about is maybe the end goal isn’t itself isn’t the end, may be the journey itself is the end goal. At times the journey of life has rough roads similar to the rough seas as a sailor would experience before reaching the shore. But it would be the rough seas and myriad experiences that the sailor has had during his sail which would have made his life interesting than the destiny itself.But coming back to my primary obligation I still don’t know what my destiny is and yet I’m on a journey to somewhere. Now, did the sailor have a specific destiny when he first set his sail or did he just start an expedition to a place that he had heard about in the form of stories and fables; without even knowing if it were true or not.

 If I were to be a sailor who just picked up his raft and sailed through the seas to find treasure I’d think I better be on the right track. During my sail In the middle of nowhere what if I start to think that this might not be the destiny that I aimed for it has to be something different and I don’t know what that something is. Is it the rough tides that is making me think like that or is it the importance of life itself, meaning having a realization that treasure’s worth isn’t more than that of the life I have.
But again with this thought I come back to the eternally unanswered question what is life or what is the purpose of life. May be my purpose of life is not the treasure itself may be it’s the journey that I take to find the treasure? I don’t know. At this moment I’m keep moving forward thinking that it’s the journey that’s counting towards my life. When I finally get to the treasure I think I wouldn’t even care what my life would be after acquiring the treasure, because my life will not be the same when I first started the sail. 


I don’t know why I keep thinking as though I’m close to the treasure while my sail isn’t even half way through or if I’m even on the right sail . Now, after I write this I don’t even know if finding the treasure is my real destiny. May be the journey will not only lead to the treasure it might lead to something else that I would have never imagined or may be make me realize what my destiny is.
