I like dreamerana understanding and explanation of this topic. And Pisces' additional comment makes it clearer. Kudos to both ana and pisces  May I add that we all have choices in how to to live our lives while the train is moving... some people enjoy the scenery, some people talk and get to know the other passengers, some people would sing and dance... Interesting topic, mikey  Great addition rosie, seeing the beauty, meeting people and friends along the way, and enjoying the journey are the blessings in life.

Lovely comments from you all. It seems strange at first but I think it is a good comparison.
I have tried this with people before and drawn a blank. The reason for mentioning the educated guy is from my experience the more educated some people are the less common sense they have or practical skills. Thanks.

Ok, so I ran this past a very educated guy at a funeral. Life is like a train? A train, running on smooth tracks continually, the train comes to a junction and there is a lot of jumping around as it goes over the points and slows down. then it pulls into a station and stops. After a while the train pulls out and picks up speed until running smoothly again. My theory is this. The smooth track is life ok? The bumpy points and junctions are upsets and problems ok? The station is death then the train pulls out and picks up speed until it's carrying on as normal. well that is a way I think of looking at it how doyou see it? Is this a good explanation? My own understanding of "LIFE IS LIKE A TRAIN" is that our life has a beginning and an end , death which is our final destination. Our life is a journey it could be a bumpy ride or a smooth travel, some have a short trip others long trip and somewhere along the way they stop from one station to the other, experiencing joy, pain, suffering, challenge, problems, meet people, say hello and goodbye, even death at an early stage of life. Some live longer , some shorter  the train we ride depends on us where we would want to go, different places, different choices/experiences, different circumstances could be bad or good weather , you may stayin a station where you just want to be dropped or you go further ahead and explore more things in life. You may fail sometimes and take a rest , the stations could be resting , recovery, rebirth period or a start of a new life as you go on with the journey taking one trip to another. But above all, in this life we were given the opportunity to experience good and bad things in life along the way, yet at the far end awaits our final destination.....Success, Fulfillment , Happiness and Death.

Is this a good explanation? ************************************************ I am a simple man and I like to, or choose to, to call it simply .." THAT'S LIFE " Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. I design my train's journey/s, and I choose my destinations or station/s (Not the death, not yet anyway).  A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.  I often can control my destiny, but not my fate. Destiny means there are opportunities to turn right or left, but fate is a one-way street. I believe we all have the choice as to whether we fulfil our destiny, but our fate is sealed. |

This thread reminds me of that old saying, "There is always a light at the end of the tunnel, but when I reached the end of my tunnel, some bastard had turned it off!

The station is death then the train pulls out and picks up speed until it's carrying on as normal. well that is a way I think of looking at it how doyou see it? Is this a good explanation? Life is like a train? Ok. I can appreciate that. The tracks are the path of life. You are the conductor or engineer. You give direction to the train. Most of the time you go forward. Sonetimes you go backward. The train switches tracks taking you on a different path. Sometimes tge train derails like our plans that don't turn out. You clean up what you can. Look into the cause. Then rebuild the tracks and keep going. Sometimes you are just the engine traveling alone to meet your destination. Sometimes you have empty cars waiting to be filled like dreams waiting to he made reality. Sometimes your liad is so heavy lije the burdens in life. You go through tunnels like life's darker moments. You keep going believing you will come back out to the light. Have a great day This ^^^^ And stations aren't 'death'. They are learning points where you stop. There's something of value there, otherwise you wouldn't stop but continue on like an intercity. This learning can be a small or larger life lesson, maybe just relaxation and having fun -after all life is not all 'work' and racing on. It can also be a time to meet new people. Either to learn from, to teach, or to have fun with. Or maybe to pick up a companion who may stay with you for just a short trip or the rest of your life. Maybe you could see the stations as the most interesting points? Although the journey itself should be enjoyed too of course. |

Thanks for your comments.
My reason for having the station as death is based on a funeral I attended. So its not your own death it's the death of a friend or loved one when everything comes to a stop for a while then starts to carry on as normal. The points are the bumpy bits that you get over, like your take on it though crystal, thanks
