Surely we only have one FINAL destination in this life: death! Personally, I believe both are important, but I’m not really sure if I must choose between these two.
What do you all think here? Can you defend your argument based on your OWN life experience?

The since I am currently on the journey, the journey is certainly more important to me now. When I near the destination, it will become more important. I think the journey shapes the experience of the destination... because I have seen many people near their death: dying can vary greatly among people with different pasts.
I agree with you: both are important.
But the "apparent" destination may simply be part of a continuous journey... who knows!

I think the journey is more important because through the trials and tribulations of journey- true wisdom and strength is found. Memories are created and you develope a new appreciation for the hardships of others through empathy of traveling those same roads. If you dont put thought into the journey- the destination isnt really worth while

In life (as we experience it) the journey, the successive experiences, and what we make of it are the most important. I've been reading Burtt's book lately, a few pages at a time: IN SEARCH OF PHILOSOPHIC UNDERSTANDING (1962), Existentialism (both in its secular and in its religious forms) is the most satisfying philosophy of means and ends. We find ourself, understand things, through successive experiences, how we deal with them, what we find through expanding them. On the psychological side, Viktor Frankl's "logotherapy" (an existential psychotherapy) is also more satisfying, since it deals with the significance of the attitude that we can choose to take to events and experiences, whether or not they are in areas that are within our control. If one's preupposition is that experiences are what we have to decide on and learn from, then the processs of life (the journey) are mroe important than any desination.

The journey, with all of its twists and turns, rocky roads and smooth paths is a never ending adventure because death is not a final destination, it is merely a new beginning. Although the physical body ceases to exist, the human spirit lives forever.

A journey without a destination is a wandering, and destination without a journey is impossible. They are equally important.

The destination is a long process of life, growth and exploration whereas the destination is just the end result of all that has happened before.
Therefore Destination is more important and valuable.

The journey, because it changes the destination.

I think Journey because Life takes you everywhere and you learn things each day as you grow up and observe others. It takes you to people, it takes you to different places, and get to meet new people. Without Journey, we wouldnt be anywhere but in one spot our whole lives and then that would be our dentination forever
Well....good day :D
