aLl roAdS LeaD tO RoME

The concept of life as a journey has been often discussed. We speak of choosing one path over another, of walking from darkness to light, of setting and achieving milestones.

And perhaps the perennial question is always, “Which way do I go?” The answer doesn’t come easy. Or rather, it is difficult to find an answer. Because circumstances and situations change. They affect each person differently. The path I take may not be what you would choose. The path you walk may prove to be arduous for me.

So it follows that each of us has to figure out our own journey. Or at least, we owe it to ourselves to keep trying. Some roads may be bumpy and you get really carsick. Some roads lead downhill making it easy to run. Yet other roads are so narrow you have to walk alone. Each road though, is never the same, even for you.

“Where are you going?”

“I don’t know.”

“Then how will you know when you have arrived?”

“That is a good question. A really good question.”
