Our final destination the same, too.

I emphatically agree. In Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now, he had a great little aside "I've known several Zen Masters throughout my life. All of them cats."
Which reminds me of an old New Yorker Cartoon: Man sitting in easy chair glancing at watch, "Wonder what time it is?" Dog sitting next to him, tongue out, tail wagging. Thought balloon, "Now. Now. Now. Now. Now"
Paths are different but the goals are the same
