Unable to Prepare for the Journey?

TRUTH
It's an Adventure, Not an Axiom.
A Story Unfolding, Not a Tale Already Told.
The Journey Counts, Not the Destination.

Right?

I came across this collection of (emergent) catchphrases during a forum discussion which happened this past weekend. There is a visual which goes along with it, which you can find here. The visual itself is, I think, self-evidently brilliant (I highly recommend you look at the visual). The attitude towards truth that these catch-phrases convey is one I can never seem to take seriously. If I have a desire, or a thirst, to know the truth, then it seems to me obvious that my ultimate end is the destination. For how can we truly be prepared for the journey when we neglect the fact of where we're going, or hope to be going ? It's a casual attitude, fatally flawed.
