    Existentialism doesn’t seem like Frazz’s or Caulfield’s usual attitude.

    Every road is the one not taken until you get there. Until then, keep walking.

    As Yogi Bera said, when you come to a fork in the road, take it.

    C’mon Caulfield, it could be an indifferent journey!

    Anticipation is the best thing about new travels. And good memories become one’s history. You buys yer ticket, yer on the ride ’til the end.

    And sometimes it’s the first step down a slippery slope.

    The way to know if your journey is over. If you’re still alive it isn’t.

    Lao Tzu was accredited with Daoism / Taoism. So it your choices that you makes that determines if the path is good bad. its the path.

    Good or bad is a decision that happens after the journey, that first step is often the hardest one….

    From a guy whose name sounds an awful lot like Lay-Zee, I’d say that the journey of a thousand miles would probably end somewhere around Step 10.

    That’s because there are a lot of ups and downs along the way.

    Lao Tzu is also credited with “The farther you travel, the less you know.” In that light, “A journey of a thousand miles…” may well be intended as a warning. (I also posted this late yesterday, but it’s more appropriate today.)

    Padmasambhava (legendary figure who brought Buddhism to Tibet) said “It is only at the end of the journey that you realize the journey was unnecessary” (i.e. you are already an Enlightened Being, you just don’t recognize it yet).

    In Chan (Zen) Buddhism, it was traditional for Korean students to make a pilgrimage to China. One early student (whose name escapes me) realized that, since all differences of place are maya (illusion), he might just as well stay in Korea. He went on to become a great teacher.

    In The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy says “If I ever go looking for my heart’s desire again, I won’t look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn’t there, I never really lost it to begin with! Is that right?”

    None of these great thinkers are embraced by the Travel and Tourism Industry.

    Frazz17 hrs · Oh, wow. Just like that, we’ve gone from encouragement to cautionary tale. And all it took was one slightly different step.
