The Train
abracad, · Categories: wise wordsYou're stranded at a deserted train station late at night, it's raining and it's cold. There's a waiting room to shelter, but you want and need to be home.
An old train pulls up. The carriage is filthy and stinking and the wheels make a terrible, almost unbearable, noise. But the train is heading for home.
If you wait, a nice, comfortable, modern homebound train might come along. Or it might not. What do you do?
Life is precious. Grasp every opportunity that presents itself, even if the journey it entails is less than comfortable. No one promised you an easy ride.
If you're going to regret (and regret is ultimately pointless) you'd better regret action than inaction.
