OUR JOURNEY TOGETHER IS SO SHORT, CANNOT BE REVERSED, ONE DOES NOT KNOW THE DURATION AND THE ALIGHTING STOP

A young lady sat in a public transport. An old grumpy lady came and sat by her side as she bumped into her with her numerous bags. The person sitting on the other side of her got upset, asking the young lady why she did not speak up and say something.

The young lady responded with a smile: "It is not necessary to be rude or argue over something so insignificant, the journey together is so short. I get off at the next stop."

The response deserves to be written in golden letters in our daily behaviour and everywhere:

*It is not necessary to argue over something so insignificant, our journey together is so short*

If each one of us could realise that our passage down here has such a short duration; to darken it with quarrels, futile arguments, not forgiving others, ingratitude and bad attitudes would be a waste of time and energy.

Did someone break your heart? Be calm, the journey is so short..

Did someone betray, bully, cheat or humiliate you? Be calm, forgive, the journey is so short..

Whatever penalty anyone serves us, let's remember that our journey together is so short..

Let us therefore be filled with gratitude and sweetness.

Sweetness is a virtue never likened to bad character nor cowardice, but better likened to greatness.

Our journey together down here is really short and cannot be reversed...No one knows the duration of his journey.

No one knows if he will have to alight at the next stop..

*Let us therefore cherish and hold on to friends and family! Let us be calm, respectful, kind, thankful and forgiving to each other. 

If I've hurt you, I ask your forgiveness. 

But please remember: The journey down here is so short...*

  1. life span is very short, do not pick quarrel with any one even if you are on right side, when something unusual is about to take place, click of from the scene, keep yourself at safe distance

    the great sage pattinathar says

    after demise your relation and relatives will attend condolence and leave
    when your corpse is taken out side for final procession, wife shall come upto the street with weeping eyes

    your son shall come to graveyard for lighting last pyre

    who comes with your after that, none you alone may leave the world
