The path to truth is arduous, uneven, and paved with doubts and questions. No matter how far we travel, the horizon stretches ever further, the end obscured. We will all rest at times, finding solace in fleeting certainties like worn stones marking the distance. These stones are not the destination, but they offer a place to gather our strength and share stories with fellow travellers. Yet, their comfort can be a double-edged sword. Linger too long, and the warmth may lull you into believing it's the final destination. You might even build an elaborate temple around your stone, a monument to your perceived comfort.
But the truth beckons, a faint light on the horizon that draws the restless onward.
Some may try to convince you to stay, to decorate your stone and preach a gospel of complacency. Don't be swayed by their anger or fear. The journey itself, with its challenges and triumphs, is the truest treasure. We may never reach the final destination, but the knowledge we gather and the bonds we forge along the way illuminate the path ahead.
