Trip on a ship


Malcom Muggeridge - once described our life as like a trip on a ship. To begin with we are only concerned with our cabin - what it's like and where we eat and sleep. Later we explore the ship - enjoy its pleasures and its pastimes - sample all it has to offer. We return to our cabin at times - venture out - maybe have a romance - more pleasure- some complaints - lifeboat drill and so we go on. It is only towards the end of the voyage that we start to seriously think about where we are going and what we will do when we get there. What will it be like - will we be prepared. Have we done enough? I think a lot of us arrive here sooner or later. I suppose it would be handy if we could stay aboard ship take a return trip. Some people are convinced there is no destination after the ship berths and everyone disappears into some nowhere place. Who knows? Anyway I'm off to re-check my brochures and guidebooks just in case.
