I like roads. To me, its not just roads. It means a lot more than just the physical aspect of it.
Roads are not just concrete pathways for the transportation or movement of people and goods from one place to another.
To me, roads symbolizes the uncertainties in the journeys we travel in life. Take for example, there are many different ways to get to one destination. You could choose the take the shortcut. But you may end up being stuck in a jam. Or you could take the lesser traveled path. The longer route. Yes, it may be longer and you may have to go through numerous exits, detours and traffic lights before you get there. Well, in life, there are shortcuts and longer routes. While shortcuts get you to the destination within a short period of time, it is, in my opinion, temporal. You only end up in one destination. What about the endless destinations that lies ahead of you? Hence, shortcuts are temporary solutions. They aren't always going to work. You may be lucky once or twice, but not forever. On the other hand, longer routes get you to multiple destinations. Yes, you may have to put in more effort, more work before getting to the supposedly end destination you had set out in mind. But it's all worth it. You get to appreciate what all those little destinations (before you reached the final one) mean. They may not be something very outstanding. But it's all these little 'destinations' that helped you reached the final destination.
And hence, that explains my blog name: The Endless Road. I don't know what the future entails. I don't know what lies ahead of me. I don't know who am I going to meet. I don't know what may happen in the future. But one thing I know. It's all these uncertainties that spurs me forward. That brings out the curiosity in me. It gets me excited about my future.
