If life is a journey, why do we focus so much on the destination?
The question of why we focus so much on the destination, rather than enjoying the journey, is a thought-provoking one. Life is indeed a journey, but as human beings, we have an innate desire to achieve goals and reach destinations. We often become so fixated on the end result that we forget to enjoy the process of getting there.
Perhaps it's because we've been conditioned to believe that success and happiness lie at the end of the road, rather than in the journey itself. Or maybe it's just our nature as humans to always strive for more. Whatever the reason, it's important to remember that the journey is just as important as the destination. We should savor every moment along the way, for it's the experiences we have and the people we meet that make the journey worthwhile.

I think that our nature feels better if it thinks that we are already predestined for something, and that it is not only our responsibility, we have to blame someone
