Yesterday as I was enjoying the creations of Bach and Beethoven in a Sunday leisure mood, I inadvertently wondered about great distances probably prompted by the occasional appearance of the moon, in an otherwise overcast sky. I recollected Marco Polo's journey onto China, Vasco da Gama's foray into India and Columbus's discovery of America. Great distances these explorers traveled to garner fame for eternity. So, which is the greatest distance?
Roald Amundsen's trip to South Pole, Yuri Gagarin's space odyssey, Neil Armstrong's large step for Humanity, Thor Heyerdhal's Kon tiki expedition or even Phileas Fogg's of Jules Verne's classic Around the World in Eighty Days, who has traversed the greatest distance??
In my opinion, none, it is us all who traverse the greatest distances each day as we continue with our journey of life. Ponder carefully with what I am going to state now-
The Greatest Distance is between Today and Yesterday!
It is a distance that is so large that we cannot traverse (at least not in the present stage of scientific prowess, where Time Machine is still HG Wells blockbuster).
But frankly speaking, since we cannot bring back yesterday, so let us divert all our energies onto our today, so that tomorrow when we look at yesterday (today's present), we don't have any qualms about our actions or inactions.
