Companions, Trips, Destinations

"Enjoy the trip" Why is it your supposed to enjoy the trip or journey? The whole point of it usually is to get from point a to point b. Enjoy the scenery when all you want to do is get there and be with the people that are there. Is it you haven't found a companion worth enjoying or sharing the trip with? And now apply this to life. Birth is the start of the journey, death the end of the journey. It is the opinion of most people of many different cultures that you should have a companion of some sort. But if you are zoned out or concentrating on navigating the journey can you see the convergence of someone else's path with yours as a crossing vice an actual joining of the two paths? If you are confused with what your path is can you tell if anyone is following a similar trail? So many questions, and so few answers. Because the answers are within and only revealed under intense scrutiny. But how can you look inward when you are constantly distracted by the world and moving down any trail let alone the correct one or the one that will lead you to a companion. You are lost in the woods with no idea of where you are. You become reactive instead of being proactive. You can sometimes hide the real truth to others but internally it is more difficult to lie to. But as I say this I think that is not totally true for every person? Some people trick themselves very easily into the group think and their reality of themselves becomes warped. No longer their reality but that reality their told to believe. Group should hold no minimum number. Group as referred to here can be two people(IE yourself and the person defining the group think.) Ensure you do not fall into the trap of the one setting the thought of the group. Then your own view will be warped because you will eventually see it for what it is a reflection of yourself. With an independent view that is colored but not defined by others you find yourself. You are able to say what you want and where you want to go. Eventually you will be able to look around and understand your path and the paths around you. But it takes time and like any journey it sometimes involves back tracking to find the correct path. Or sliding from one path to another. It may be an accident. You may believe that you may need to get back to the point you were to continue the journey. Or it may a welcome surprise and you may end closer to your destination than you think. So each time your life throws the proverbial curve ball, you most reexamine where you are, where you want to be, what surrounds you at the moment. "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It says so much in a small statement. "Stop and smell the roses" comes to mind also. So in ending, I would like to thank technology for the helping hand it can be in this day and age. Some people look at it as a crutch because it is but it is such a wonderful crutch. Which when used properly can produce many wonderful things. This was written on my IPhone last night then emailed to my laptop to finish and proofread. The Internet added a couple helpful hints, specifically the movie quote, because the brain can remember alot but not everything. And sometimes it twists the truth into a memory that is easier or more pleasant. So thank you technology.
