Passenger

The goal is not important, the important thing is to enjoy the path leading to the goal.

I´m always heard that the goal is very important to determine what we do and how we do. One day I watch the movie named ¨Passenger¨ talking about the journey of passengers who want to leave earth and live in another planet. All were slept in box called ¨winter sleep¨ to keep the age of passengers, means that after next 200 years, if you go on board at 20 years old, you will still be 20 years old on that planet. Some leaves earth because ¨if you live an ordinary life, all you´ll have are ordinary stories. You have to live a life of adventure¨. Suddenly one big technical error happened on the way, one of passenger woke up earlier far from that planet 90 years old means that he will die before arriving, he lived lonely, only talked with a robot man. He tried to suicide because of alone and disappointment but the day he tried to suicide he found another passenger, a woman who he fell in love with. Suddenly he had an idea to wake her up by hand. But it means she will never arrive in that planet, her purpose put her feet on this journey will be cruised. He knew it but he did after many days thinking.

She woke up, very confused, very disappointed and sad. He felt guilty and tried to help her have something funny. Day by day they spent time and talked with each other, drank wine, even dance and made something crazy together. Those things made her forget sorrow things in her mind some moment. On her birthday, they together had a romantic dinner and he planned to propose her married with him. He is a mechanic man and made a nice ring by steel for her. The robot man in one minute told her why she woke up suddenly, it´s not accident. Her heart broken one more time. Tears burnt out, from having feel with him to being angry extremely. Nothing helped her accept the truth that she was woken up and never arrives in that place she wishes because of his selfish.

Spacecraft appeared mistakes and had a risk to explore all. Gravity often disappeared and only two people there, more than 5,000 passenger still slept in winter box. It might be nobody who arrive in their desired place. They had to cooperate to save the craft. No time for angry anymore - she must accept this. The process of saving their ship put him between live and death, he touched death and that moment she realized that she couldn´t live without him. That planet is no more important than ever.

They found themselves again and enjoyed much together, felt happy than the dream to live on that planet as the first plan.

¨We all have a journey. We plan our future as if we are the captains of our fate. But we´re passengers. We go where fate takes us¨
