Journey

Some journeys are undertaken for business. There are many that are done for leisure, and then there are few that are done for love of some form. These ends that we set out for, are sometimes realized, and we return feeling victorious, having got what we desired. There are other times, when we return having lost everything, or at least more than we intended to anyway. But I have come to believe, through my travels, that irrespective of the ends, each journey imparts us something that we didn't know we wanted in the first place. I do not have a word for it. Closest I could think of is mileage. But this is probably why each journey is an end in itself. And this is probably why, I am not inclined to live a life where traveling augments staying; but instead one in which staying augments traveling.
