180 Degrees South Response

Quote: "The end is useless...but I find I learn something along the way....If you take a spiritual journey & you compromise the process you have failed...you are a [jerk] when you start and an [jerk] when you finish."

This quote is pertinent to many of the ideas the movie gets across. It says the journey is the important part; the ends don't matter nearly as much as the means. The process of completing something greater is more valuable than the end product. Jeff Johnson found solace in this idea because although he did not complete his journey, the lessons he learned along the way were worth more. This translates into my life greatly because I will be going off to college next year, and it's important for me to grow along my journey. I must to pay attention to all the lessons along the way, and although in the end college is about getting a degree, all the experiences I have during that time will be just as important, if not much more.
