OUR JOURNEY IN LIFE
“ Life is like a journey on a train…
with its stations…
with changes of routes…
and with accidents!
We board this train when we are born, and
our parents are the ones who got our ticket.
We believe they will always travel on this train with us.
However, at some station, our parents will get off the
train, leaving us alone on this journey.
As time goes by, other passengers will board the train,
many of whom will be significant – our siblings, friends,
children, and even the love of our life.
Many will get off during the journey and leave a
permanent vacuum in our lives.
Many will go unnoticed, thus we won’t even know
when they vacated their seats and got off the train!
This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations,
hellos, good-byes, and farewells.
A good journey is helping, loving, having a good relationship
with all co-passengers… and making sure that we give our best
to make their journey comfortable.
The mystery of this fabulous journey is:
We do not know at which station we ourselves are going to get off.
So we must live in the best way – adjust, forget, forgive and offer
the best of what we have.
It is important to do this because when the time comes for us
to leave our seat…we should leave behind beautiful memories
for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.”
