A Train Ride

Riding on a train, it's interesting to look out of the window. Nowadays not many people do that. They prefer to keep themselves busy with other things: checking their mobile phones (usually), sleeping (often), reading (seldom), talking to each other (sometimes). Not many take the time to enjoy the view. Looking at the scenery slide by, rushing away in an instant, you may feel dizzy. The speed is high, the panorama changes fast, and all of a sudden your destination is there. Doesn't this make you think of your life? It moves along without any possibility for you to stop it or just slow it down. You have no power over it. And suddenly you realize that most of it is gone, with or without your approval or just your consent. It's totally out of your control. But the comforting thought is that you arrived where you were supposed to be. It's up to you to enjoy the ride in full awareness or not.
