Why travel? | |||||||||||||||||||||
For most, travel is about new experiences. Collecting memories and experiencing pleasure. Whether such behavior is anywhere near reasonable is debatable. While the value of enjoyable sensations is not to be underestimated, such feelings tend to be short-lived and fleeting. Memories die when the person bearing them dies, and a life spent chasing emotions amounts to nothing in the end.
Should there be any value in travelling, it must arise from helping the inhabitants of different nations to understand each other. We are inclined to fear the unknown, so becoming familiar with the customs of our neighbourghs can reduce tensions and forge new friendships. At least it is a better investment than drinking away one's money at a bar. | |||||||||||||||||||||
