In honor of David Bowie
(actor, singer and more) I present a quote by him.
The
truth is of course is that there is no journey. We are arriving and departing
all at the same time.
What does this mean?
Simply put, David Bowie did not see life as a bunch of small journeys or
even a big one. Instead he saw life from a day to day perspective (at
least this is the case if I am interpreting this correctly). Basically,
we all come and go and change ourselves all at the same time.
There is no real end goal or any treasure at the end, but instead it is
what we take from life and leave behind in each waking moment of every day.
It is our choices that influence what happens to us and our potential.
Final Thought: This means that Bowie saw life as
something that is constantly changing and altering. It is
essentially chaos, and we simply try to make sense of it. I disagree on
the part of there being no journey, but I do agree that life is about
hellos and goodbyes, and what comes of those hellos and
goodbyes.
