Trains of Life

Life is like a journey on a train –other people go on the train at the station. Occasionally, there are accidents, there are things that surprise, and there are moments of extreme sadness between stations.
At birth, it is like when we first step onto the train. We then meet people whom we thought would stay with us throughout this trip – they are our parents! Unfortunately, the reality is different. Our parents will step off at some station, leaving us a lack of love, affection, and companionship. However, many other people will get on the train and they become very important to us: they are our brothers and sisters, friends, and someone wonderful whom we love.

There are those who see the journey as a promenade concert.
There are others who see only sadness during the trip.
There are people who are always present and ready to help those in need.  

There are more people who just get on and get right off – we barely see them stop. 

We are surprised when some passengers whom we love choose to sit in a different car and leave us alone on the journey. Of course, no one can forbid us from going to find them everywhere on the train. Sometimes, unfortunately, we cannot sit by them because the seat had already been taken. But it is nothing like that. The journey is challenging with many hopes and dreams with many times saying goodbye without knowledge of ever meeting again. Try to make a wonderful journey!!

Remember, in every moment of the trip, a companion trembles and falters and needs our sympathy. We do too!! We can falter, and someone will always be able to understand us. The great mystery of our journey is not knowing when we will get off forever. Nor do we know when our companions will get off the train, not even the people sitting right next to us. 

Do you think you will be sad to leave the train? It certainly seems that way! If I said farewell to all my friends that I met on the train, would it be painful? Leaving your loved ones alone is sad, but be sure that someday you will come back to the Central Station, and you see them arrive without any luggage with them to step on board. Furthermore, you will be glad to contribute to make their inventory richer. All of us should try to make a good journey and leave good memories for everyone else when we get off.
