Journey Is a Word That Protects Us From Reality
Journey is a word that makes it possible to deny the truth. Euphemisms are words to protect us from reality. We use euphemisms because we can't face reality. And so we want to live in a denial as psychologists have pointed out since forever, denial makes the world go round. If you say life is a journey, a journey is you get on a bus in Cleveland and it takes you to Chicago and you sit there watching the countryside go by. That's a journey. Life is not like that. It's a struggle and uphill. It's sisyphus in that rock.
