Alice in Wonderland

The story goes something like this...
Alice reaches a fork in the road, and asks the Cheshire Cat sitting on a tree,
`Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'
`That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat.
`I don't much care where--' said Alice.
`Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.
`--so long as I get SOMEWHERE,' Alice added as an explanation.
`Oh, you're sure to do that,' said the Cat, `if you only walk long enough.'

In your life, you will certainly reach SOMEWHERE if you keep walking.
And you will reach somewhere further if you walk further ...and so on..

What is the reason for your journey ?
Is it a destination? A destination or The destination ? Or Milestones to be crossed ?
Is there a purpose to you walking and slogging - what is it ?

More fundamental Question : Is there an end to the journey?

What is more important for you - the journey or the destination?

As I see, the desitinations do change and the journey becomes endless.
You spend the only currency you have - ie  time - which is irreversible, on this journey called life.
To me it appears, the journey matters more than the milestones crossed.

In that case Is'nt Journey a Destination?
