Arnold Bennett: How to live on 24 hours a day
A.B. " If we analyze the haunted feeling, it is permanently due to the uneasiness, of expectations., of looking forward, of aspirations and followed by the feat of not doing much about it"
For ex., a man wants to go to Mecca - he starts the Journey - he may drown before Port Said- or shall perish ingloriously on the coast of the Red Sea - and his desire may remain eternally frustrated.
But, he will not be tormented in the same way as the man who also desired to reach Mecca - but never leaves his home"
So the message i am getting is this - "Start" the journey-towards a fruitful purpose - you need not worry about reaching the destination - but the fact that you started - will eliminate the haunted feeling - inside you;
"Journey is the deal - not the destination"
