Finishing line of Life

 I am teaching science  in government  school.

My student Sohan said "Madam I am confused If life is a race, then what is the finishing line?"

I said"Sohan we were once enjoying our holiday in the hills.

My uncle who stays near the place, visited us.

After enjoying some tea in the beautiful climate, he asked us if we wanted to see the most beautiful place in the hills."

Everybody agreed.

My uncle said "Let us travel in two cars.."

My uncle was with my father and some other people in one car, while I and my student Sohan  were with other members in the other car.

We were all excited, after so much praise of the place from my uncle, we with my student Sohan drove all the way imagining how beautiful the place would be.

After an hour and a half of driving, our other car stopped in a small village town.

The place was a simple village, with nothing special.

I got out of the car and asked my uncle-

"Is this the place you were talking about, or we must drive more?"

He laughed and said, "The road on which we were driving for the past hour is the beautiful place I was talking about"

I face palmed and stood stunned for a while.

Sohan said "Madam I also didn't notice or appreciate anything despite being a nature admirer, only because I was too much concerned about the destination."

Sohan further said "I kept driving like a robot, imagining to reach a dream destination."

I said This is what happens when we consider life as a race."

Sohan said "Madam wee keep running, and speeding, creating an emotional turbulence in our body and mind, having our focus only on the destination.

I said " You are right Sihan in the race, we ignore all the beautiful destinations which lie throughout the path, where we should have stopped, smiled, enjoyed, relaxed and relished later on."

Sohan said "Madam we think think finishing line of the race is our last days where we are weak, old, irrelevant, waiting to die, and depend on others for everything, while others don't care much for a person who never cared for them."

Finally, after realising our mistake, myself and Sohan got the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery while going back, we even stopped at some points and stood for a while to observe and cherish the mesmerizing beauty of the hills.

I said "Sohan life does not gives us that luxury to go back in time and enjoy all those countless precious moments.Thereforr one should be serious about journey of life.Time and our actions are very important  in life."

Are you also confused with finishing line of life.Friends please work on your weak skills and at the same time please always help and care for others who need help
