Jan. 19, 2006 There are some journeys in life that require prompt attention such as the case of certain family emergencies. Then there are other times when the journey is what keeps things together, such as a story or novel, or even a movie, for it’s the journey that makes the reader want to keep on reading or the movie goer riveted to his seat. If, for example, a writer were to start a story and wrap things up two sentences later, it might not seem interesting, would it? For instance, there would be no details as to how the characters, protagonist and antagonist alike interact with each other and what problems could have arisen if they did not interact with one another too well. It’s the conflict that might keep a reader interested to see what happens next. Similarly, if you are looking at a movie and have already, in your mind, summed up the ending, would you get up and walk out of the cinema, or would you stay to see how the characters involved end up achieving whatever they are supposed to achieve? Be it a romantic union, or thwarting a villainous character from any more wrong doings. Most people would stay and see how it all unfolds. It was the whole point of watching the movie. From the moment you sit down to watch a movie or read a book, you know, there is going to be some conflict. What keeps you turning the pages or looking at the screen is the curiosity of how the protagonist and hero(ine) will eventually obtain success. Even when you take a trip somewhere, there are also certain things you do before reaching your destination. If you’re travelling by plane, you may have to change planes or remain on just one, depending on the distance of your destination. Ultimately, it’s the destination we’re after, but it’s the things that are occurring during the journey that may bring about certain changes within us. Maybe along the way you will see something you have not taken the time to observe before. It’s that one observation that could bring a change in you. Sometimes, not all destinations can be met as quickly as one would like, for life is a journey of its own. A journey that has numerous destinations that can start with pre school. You have to complete that or reach that destination before moving on. Along the way though, you would have made some friends and learned a few things you would need later on, so some journeys are essential. So go on that trip, no matter whatever form it should come in, but enjoy the journey as well. Even if you suspect how that book or movie might end, sit through it if you can. The destination is important, but sometimes, so is the journey. It’s what makes the destination all the more interesting, by the time you get there. Ultimately it’s because of some journeys, we are sometimes able to learn what we have learned and meet the people we have come to know. For if you get to the destination too fast, that won’t happen. ------------ About the author Judy Ramsook: My first book titled: "Karen's Adventure" which is about two young girls who go in search of their missing parents, is now available.
