Our Trip Is Too Short
I have read this at least five times since this morning, and it’s so accurate and beautifully written.
An older man got on a bus and sat down.
A strong, grumpy young woman climbed up and sat down sharply beside the older gentleman, hitting him with her numerous bags at the next stop.
When she saw that the older man remained silent, the young woman asked why he did not complain when she hit him with her bags.
The older man replied with a smile:
“There is no need to be upset about something so insignificant, as our journey is so short because I am going to get off at the next stop. “
This answer disturbed the woman so much she asked the man to excuse her and thought the words needed to be written in gold.
We must understand that our time in this world is so short.
Darkening it with struggles, useless arguments, jealousy, not forgiving others, discontentment, and bad attitudes – is a ridiculous waste of time and energy.
Did someone break your heart? Stay calm.
The trip is too short.
Did someone betray you, intimidate, cheat, or humiliate you?
Relax – Don’t be Stressed.

Did someone insult you without reason? Stay calm. Please ignore it.
The trip is too short.
Did someone make a comment that you didn’t like?
Stay calm. Ignore him. Forgive that.
The trip is too short.
Whatever the problems someone brings us, it is a problem only if we think of it; remember that our journey together is too short.
No one knows the length of our trip.
No one has seen tomorrow. Nobody knows when we will arrive at our stop.
Our trip together is too short.
Let us appreciate friends and family.
Please keep them in good humor. Respect them.
Let us be respectful, kind, loving, and forgiving, filled with gratitude and joy. After all, our trip together is concise.
Are we still on the way, or have we reached our destination safely, sooner than anticipated?
Suddenly, we realize.
The trip is too short.
I have read this at least five times since this morning. It’s so accurate and beautifully written that I decided to share it on my blog—author unknown.
If anyone knows, please leave a comment.
Thank you.
