Is life like a playground or an arrow ?

One way is to think of your lifetime as a flying arrow, shot from the bow from the moment we are born and hits the target to rest only when we die. That way we are always flying in the air, straight ahead, in a set path – predetermined by the conditions under which we were launched and kept in check by the environment around us, all the time heading for our DESTINY.

But a better way is see life as a series of hellos and goodbyes. In this view, we are children in a ever-expanding playground constantly looking for something new to try – so many possibilities always open to us – some of which we jump upon and explore with some depth, others which we only peek at from a distance and still some which we ignore completely – but there is always something waiting for us to explore and we don’t get bored. And we will play until we are called home.

I like the second way better.
