Life is a bunch of chores to be completed before death arrives. This is how most people approach life.
They want to just get over with the exams and stressful studies so that they can get a real job. Then they want to get over with the job daily so they can go home, they want to get done with dishes and cleaning so they are ready for next day. They also want to get done with watching the stuff on TV so they get caught up on what they thought they will watch.
Same thing continues with kids they want to get over with the bottles and diapers, then they want to get over with their birthday parties, then they wait for them to get independent so that they can do what they want - which is not very well defined because they are also a bunch of chores in one's mind. Even fun is a chore - get done with certain goals of running or sports etc. Fun part is all of us voluntarily take up these chores and then treat them like homework thrust upon us by someone else.
Thank god that god doesn't really come down fulfilling our desires otherwise we will fast forward everything and die. As a kid all kids wish is to grow older faster. Then they want to get done with all the studying and college. Then they want to get done with pains of finding a partner and find the so called perfect one immediately. Then business of 'having kids' needs to be fast forwarded according to whatever number of kids and format of parenting has been told to be ideal. Then the dependence on a source of income needs to go. And then aha! here we are at the end.... no one asked us to do all these chores but we did them and now? .... umm..script some more chores depending on your state of mind then.
Unless and until everything about the journey is enjoyed their is no point in living. The famous saying - 'Its about the journey not the destination' is not correct. Their is nothing called a destination, it is just a journey, jumping from self made destination to destination is not a journey.
