Pedestrians and Passengers, the upgrade

In an update on a post I made in 2007, the passengers have upgraded to booking lifetime tickets with an approximate journey date at the end of this year.

Lately it seems that I cannot but turn around without seeing another couple who have decided to make that particular lifetime commitmment. Though I am happy for them, I wonder how many persons are called to a life of spinsterhood/ bachelorhood.

Truly there is such a group. Not those who have missed out on the opportunity to become one flesh but those uniquely placed to maintain their single status. The difference has nothing whatsoever with finding that soulmate or special someone. The difference has everything to do with understanding yourself and your willingness to be steadfast until death.

Its a small difference and its a wise man who knows where he stands. As for me, well, maybe one day...
