Getting from point A to B

May 20th, 2006 by Violet

I know, I know… I still owe you guys the 2nd installment of ‘My Best Match’. :)

Anyway, I think I need to go for anger management course after driving in KL for the past couple of months.

Some people just do not believe in the concept of queuing. It is like… hello… obviously all the cars are waiting in line for a reason? But no, they just decide to cut queue for their own convenience.

And don’t even get me started on people who just swerve in and out of the left and right lanes just to save that 1-2 seconds of time. It is so dangerous, not just for the driver, but for cars around it. Am not sure if they are just trying to show off their driving skills, or there is something SO important that they are rushing to that they are entitled to put people’s lives in jeopardy.

We live in such a fast paced world. A world where we believe in getting what we want immediately. Or getting to our destination as fast as possible. And most of the time, we do not stop to appreciate the things that are truly important. Or we do not stop to enjoy the process. It is about instant results… all the time. And I think sometimes, we even forget what is the reason we are even doing all these things. We become so mechanical in pursuing the same things everyday.

Finding love, is not purely about meeting that special someone. It is also about discovering yourself, and learning more about who we really are. It is about the process of falling, and picking yourself up again. About experiencing heartaches, and then joy, not necessarily in that order. It is not just about your expectations, your preferences. It is also about living in the present, and know what is realistic, and what is not.

What is the point of getting from point A to B, when you neither enjoy the process, nor know the real purpose of the journey.

Sometimes, isn’t it better to make a detour to C? Yes… it might take a longer time, and the route might be laced with hurdles and obstacles… but the most important thing is, we enjoy the process and learn the true purpose of the entire exercise.
