winning when it doesn't matter

So me and my small group had a fabulously fun time at this farm last night, the most anticipated part being the awesome corn maze. But a funny thing happened. I found my way to the end of the corn maze in like 5 minutes. There it was. It was over. I kinda wished it had taken me longer because I thought the most fun part would be wandering through all the corn, wondering where I was, trying to figure out where to go. A great fun challenge with friends. I waited what seemed like a really long time, but none of the rest of my friends ever found the real exit. They ended up making their own exits or coming back through the entrance. Which is fine. But the whole time I was waiting at the end (which was a little fun because there was a tractor to climb on) I was mostly just wishing I was still in the maze, lost with my friends, laughing and having a good time instead of sitting there alone. But it made me realize that sometimes getting to the end the fastest isn't really the big deal. Sometimes it's just the fun spent with other people.
