Train of Thought

[AccruedExpenditure]

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, i'm curious to hear what fellow anandtecher's have to say about this:

Suppose one night you went to sleep and suddenly you woke up and found yourself in a train. This train was relatively fast and was taking you to an unknown destination. Besides, the scenes that could be viewed from the windows of the train were very attractive and worthy of looking or directing attention towards them. Do you think that, in a situation like this, you would entertain yourself with those attractive scenes before first asking yourself why you are riding this strange train and who brought you in there?

Hence, the life of this world is just like this train that you find yourself all of a sudden therein. It has many attractive things that make us so busy to a degree of not asking about why we are here in this world. Is the purpose of life merely working to earn money and then having fun to materialistically please or amuse ourselves?

You have totally derailed.

depends on if I have anything to do that day. If not then I'd enjoy the show. But if I had to be at work then I'd get nervous and start looking for answers.

so i'm guessing you're not talking about Amtrak?

sounds like a fun ride to me... wake up, nice scenery. no responsibility.. just sit back, enjoy the ride and have a drink. Count me in.
