I'm gonna have to go with destination is more important. Everything that we do right now, we're doing it to get somewhere. Your mortgage, your car lease/finance, education, career, marriage.

What if you're paying your mortgage but you never come to the term where you finish and own a house. In the end you lose your house. Is the journey still more important then?

You sign a 3 year lease/finance. At 2 year 11 months, you cannot pay anymore and your vehicle is repossessed. Is the journey still important then?

You work your ass off for a position, you dedicated your time, effort, and maybe some money into getting this position. In an announcement, your manager announces that Peter gets this position. Still hanging onto another chance of advancement to a position that you're not aiming for. Is the journey still important then?

You're got married and vowed that you will live together forever, 20 years later, you two have children together but are divorced. You're 45+. Is the journey still important then?

EDIT - Did I mention the all time famous friend-zone? You chase this girl for years and you get friend-zoned. Is the journey still important?
