The Journey

A thought came to mind on my way to work this morning.. while in the subway.

Ok.. got some feedback that this post got some heads scratching.. shall attempt to explain it...

Hmm.. feel that life sometimes run parallel to that of a train. Imagine you are a train... on a journey through life. Along the way, many people will get on board, some will be there for only a stop, some will be there for a significant part of your journey, while some will continue your journey with you till the end.

While some 'trains' choose to close their doors.. preferring to journey alone, some just prefer to speed through the tracks.. arriving at their destination sooner, but missed out on the scenery, the company & the beauty of the journey itself.

Some trains open their door to passengers.. but refuses to open again when the passengers wishes to leave. Some open their doors.. and forces the passengers out even before reaching the station.. leaving the passenger stranded, helpless, lost and nowhere to go.

Be a train that arrives in time, departs on schedule, waits for all to enter before closing the doors, faithfully opens the doors at each station to let those who chooses to alight, leave. Offer them comfort, protection and security while they're on board and close the door gently if they wishes to leave.

Let us be a train that arrives at the final destination with pride and honour. Looking back at the journey.. you'll be glad that you had help many arrive safely at their destinations, be thankful that your very existence has contributed in a small way in their lives and count your blessings if upon arriving at the end, you still have 1 or more passenger onboard.
