Life is like...

Nothing else that we're familiar with.

 

that's pretty much what i was thinking, but was having a brainfart trying to think of the best words to say it with.

life is like a very long train ride, through all kinds of scenery, that we don't know where its going, don't remember for sure how we got on, and have no idea what we'll find when we get off.
other passengers try to tell us what to expect, but they're as often as not proven wrong as to what we see each next mile. best to simply enjoy the scenery as best we can, and enjoy a nice meal once in a while when we can.
