'Its the journey not the destination'

You must have heard this a thousand times and experienced it for atleast a hundred times, but I would still like to ponder on it a bit more...
A quick flashback:
-You wanted to grow up all through your childhood and when you actually have, you feel it was not worth giving up ur childhood for. Here childhood -> journey
-You were waiting eagerly for your graduation day and on that day you cant stop thinking about the college days you are going to miss. Here college days -> journey
You can apply this to almost everything you wanted..so what is it in the journey that you miss when you reach the destination.. is it the human tendancy of not being satisfied with what they have, that they believe in 'the grass is still greener on the other side' and when you reach the other side the previous side is now the other side and now greener..
Well if you dont agree with me then rejoice coz you are among the people who enjoy every moment and dont bother about the past and the future, the others in my category have to give this thought a thought and if theres a third category - lemme know ;)

'The Masked'

Does he even remember who he was?
or,Is he still who he was?
A mask over other and over that another
and all that was left of him was 'The Masked'
Maybe he didnt like who he was,thus was put on his first mask.
Or was he too weak to face the world
to show them what he really was, felt and thought
too scared to be hurt?
but a mask is a mask, it can never protect you forever
and the second one wouldnt make you stronger
but this was what he thought
and to escape from one he used another
a mask over other and over that another
and all that was left of him was 'The Masked'
He dosent originate from "Once upon a time, in the Far Far Away land" , coz i can find a little of 'The Masked' in you, me and every other person I see.
