愛すべきは旅路だ

Seth's Blog

They’re easy to confuse.
An event happens at date certain, then it’s over, nothing more to be done.
A journey might include an event, but it’s bigger than that, and ongoing.
A wedding is an event, a marriage is a journey.
The week a book is published is an event, while the creation, publication and lifespan of the ideas in the book are a journey.
The focus and energy we lavish on events can easily distract us from the journeys we care about.

「勘違いしやすいから気を付けよう。
晴れ舞台はある日盛大に催されて、終了する。
人生の旅路はそれにとどまらず、ずっと続く。
結婚式は晴れ舞台で、結婚は旅路だ。
新刊本の発売は晴れ舞台で、創作し出版し読まれる本の寿命は旅路だ。
晴れ舞台への執着が「愛すべきは旅路なのだ」という事実を失念させる。」
