Is life so fast and complex that we must reach a new destination every hour?
Do we not even have a single minute to set aside for ourselves?
Is life, as we call it, a "complex tangle," and are we merely trying to unravel the thread within that chaos?
It feels as though we can never catch up to anything, constantly missing one train after another.
Is life truly this complicated, or are we the ones who keep twisting the thread?
If we try to board every passing train, we end up late for the station we truly wish to reach, yet we fail to notice it.
Chasing after a train simply because its route looks appealing sometimes means we are pursuing a journey that we will later look back on but never catch up to—our own train.
Even if we run from one train to another, enjoying beautiful scenery along the way, at the end of the day we still fail to reach the station we intended to arrive at, because those trains are not ours.
That route is not our route, and the stations we pass, however appealing they may seem at first glance, are also somewhat temporary.
What I mean to say is: We do not belong there!
We saw a route that looked appealing and boarded some trains without thinking. But we forgot our own train and missed its schedule. We did not even realize it, because at that moment we were continuing our journey accompanied by other scenic views.
How painful!
Yet we should be more selective and not jump onto every train that comes our way!
We must observe, weigh, and reflect: Is this my train, or is it merely a journey that will distract me for a while? Does this train’s direction lead along my path, or does it veer off into other routes—perhaps dead ends or distant places?
In short, what I mean to say is:
Do not get distracted by other trains, or one day we will realize we have missed our own.
