Is it true it's the journey not the destination that is the reward, for without the destination,?

Question

there would be no journey

Answer 1

This isn't always the case. Sometimes it's necessary to set goals and work towards them but othertimes, the beauty is in the "doing." I'm taking dance lessons, and I know I'll never be very good (certainly not a professional) but I'm enjoying every single minute of each lesson. I hope I can go on learning new things forever.

Answer 2

Actually I agree with the scuba guy;
Without a journey there would be no destination

The journey to our destination in many cases becomes the desired destination because the experience and knowldge gained makes it all worthwhile. Without destination the journey would not come to be but without a journey the destination will not be achieved. Far more importance is based on the destination but the journey slowly becomes more important than the destination as through journey we gain , sometimes lose , but we must all take risks.
The difficulty of the journey is what creates the wisdom to achieve the goal , so without the journey the destination would be forever lost and the value is diminished as it will never exist. You can not achieve without journey.
The journey is the reward because it teaches to reach goals and gives us the wisodm to do it.

Answer 3

In my belief it is the DESTINATION that is the reward. Along the way I can enjoy my journey and be happy and experience things, etc. but I wouldn't even be doing the journey if I didn't have a destination.
I chose and set my destination so it is something that I obviously want to get to so that is my reward and having a nice journey on the way there is just a bonus. :)

Answer 4

if destination, then journey.

if a, then b

b depends on a. in other words, there must be (a), or a journey, for there to be (b), or a destination. it is possible for there to be a journey without a destination, i.e. wandering around aimlessly.

basically, you can never reach a destination without going through a journey of some kind. the two are irrevocably attached. what you learn along the journey gets you to the destination.

in a physical sense, the journey ( a car ride) is often less important than the destination (a funeral). but in a spiritual and intillectual sense, the journey (trials, joys, hardships, meditation) brings about the destination (inner peace, purpose). in that way, the two are at least equal.

Answer 5

If the destination is the reward, one would never leave on a vacation since you already are at your destination. Of course the journey is the reward! The destination is only a part of the journey.

Answer 6

Isn't Life a journey? And if so, what is it's destination? Death?
This saying refers to true living. In which we try to journey as much as possible before reaching the destination.

Answer 7

But on the other hand, without the journey there would be no destination.

Answer 8

Sometimes the journey is simply to go see whatever there is to see regardless of where it may be. Be it over land or sea, upon the mountain high or the desert free. To see what there is to see is why we make the journey.

Answer 9

I believe it to be true. When working toward a goal or destination think of the knowledge and skills you pick up along the way. As you grow and learn, you become more adept and intiutive about what you are doing. There are nuances to be learned with anything you strive for. Blessings on you.
