The question is the one that most of us at some point in time in our lives try to answer. "Does the path to a destination matter? or only the destination?"
So my current thought is "Destination matters, but journey is about the path. Destination is just a point. So path matters most, but path must ensure that we reach the destination. It depends on the individual what he/she chooses. The choice of one does not preclude the other.
Paths and destinations are not constant. They keep changing. These can be constantly redefined; the person needs to stay true to himself/herself. So the answer is paths and destinations matter, but not as much as being a certain individual that I want to be."
Why? It is the individual who has the discretion and sovereign will to choose the path and the destinations. Individual if aware can always change the path and the destination these based on the experiences that he/she has during the journey.
Why person needs to stay true to himself/herself - The basic premise is the person that I am talking about is a human being with conscience that guides his/her actions and tells what is right and what is wrong based on established ethical / moral values and derives a sense of well being by choosing the actions as per his/her conscience.
