Main Idea of this chapter:
Trains are referred to a large amount of people. People often make moves in groups. Most people are too coward to be decisive and take all the responsibilities alone. They simply choose the road mostly taken. The destinations of the trains are the directions of lives. Being hurrying means most people make hasty decisions, not even knowing where to go and what to do. People seldom stop and take a rest to see what surround them or think why they are here. As a result, people rarely feel satisfied with their living, their companies, even themselves. Only children know what they do need and want, and they want it desperately, with passion and fun. Children are candid and honest to themselves, so their lives are simple and real.

『耶穌說:讓小孩子到我這裡來,不要禁止他們;因為在天國的,正是這樣的人。 』馬太福音 19:14
