Journey of Life is just like journey in a Train

In a train we get in and find our seat, get introduced to people around, develop some sort of impressions and help each other if needed being co-traveler. When our destination comes we get down from the train and do not remember any one after some time.

Similar situation is here in this life. We get birth get the education from our teachers and parents, do some kind of job and when the time comes depart to the destination.

As we do not get attached to any one in a train journey, as we know that this is just a small time period we are together. Same approach should be followed in the life. This life is also a small period if we look at the total time period of billion of years the creation came into existence.

Thus as we behave in the train journey, that is just having casual a purposeful relationship with other travelers in our cabin or coach, same approach should be followed with people around us, in this world. We should have limited relationship and emotional bonding in this world as we do have in the train journey.

One must have minimum interaction with people around as he tries while traveling in the train.

This world is just like a transit place and we should live with the simple purpose of just passing from here and always looking at the destination.

Traveling in a train in India is one of the most exhilarating experience. It is an education by itself. I have loved my train journeys all around India and have loved interacting with people too. You learn so many things.
2 Stars
Similarly we learn so many things in this life.

Yes, we should be always cautious about our destination and should not get attached to any one and get down with him or her at other stations on the way.

Caution is very important while living in this word and one must not induldge in any thing which is of no value to the real goal of life.

Isn’t it funny that we do get attached with our co-passengers, often share contacts and then forget them so quickly?
1 Stars
Yes, similarly we get attached in our life with people and objects of the world like house property etc. while we know that we have to leave this world one day and even this body will remain here to be cremated by others.

@Abdula Rahim:

One must not trust co-passengers completely. This can prove to be dangerous as we have witnessed countless incidences where passengers were robbed or duped.

I find that human life is a very rare opportunity to reach the destination.

@ Shiv:

I guess every one is entitled to his views on a subject. If the author and some of the commenters felt in certain way, we must understand it is their view(s).

true, do not claim to b the wise one but a fool can also have his foolish views
appearing sensible to him
2 Stars
Totally correct. I agree with you. But then why disturb him by telling him that he is foolish. A person who is not open to arguments and logic is a person best ignored. Let him feel happy with his views.
1 Stars
Thanks for the nice views of wise people.

Calling wise and foolish is just matter of point of view, how one looks at the scenario.

f one do not understand ones message he just says the other person is a fool.

And if one understands the views then he calls him wise.

I understand the views of all above, very well.

Thanks for the same.

Thanks for a great post.

I do feel life is a journey.. Everyday is a blessing, an opportunity to travel to new highs, an adventure..

The same as a ”train ride”, our journey of life will be met and in the end, summed by ones own perception.. Everywhere this journey takes us, there is a lesson to be learned...you see, learn, and move (alone or with family) along to your next ”stop”.. We can choose to find beauty within the darkness, good among the bad, and love among the hate...

We’re all on the same train with the the same final destination... What we do in the meantime,( our individual itineraries) how we do it, and how we choose to perceive it is up to us......

There are two ways to travel in a train. Either you sit facing the direction the train is moving or facing backwards. When you look out of the window while facing the direction the train is moving, you see distant things becoming clearer and clearer. You wait with anticipation to see it up close. You are prepared.

But when you do the opposite way you can see things only after you pass it fading away in the horizon.

It is much like one’s approach to life.
1 Stars
Absolutely right !!!

One can learn everything from the scenario around.

I agree life is so much like a train journey which we board free ;but pay some part of the fare as we travel -and the bulk of the fare on getting off.

Also though the passengers may know their goal a careless train driver may crash them all.

Driver of life is never rash or careless it is we who try to hangout and get crashed.

But the driver of the train may not be the master of the railway.Just a matter of perceptions ?

Driver of the train is just another creation but we as a traveler must know our destination and in spite of passing time with fellow travelers should never forget that.

We Muslims believe without His guidance and Grace we can never succeed even if we know the goal and destination...and this is proved in the lives of misguided ones amongst us every day.
