Turn to the world, traveling also means to accept and understand that there are actually around the corner is completely different from ours. That our way of life is not the "right" but simply "our". And do not be hasty in judgments, remember that understand not necessarily mean sharing also : you can put aside their own beliefs for a short time and try to see things from another point of view. There are people, whole people who live in an almost incomprehensible to us, following accepted customs and situations that we do not even dream of contemplating. Yet these people have their dignity, lives, sometimes survives, work and raise their children. Traveling is a golden opportunity to see, speak, absorb. Overcoming hardships and difficulties that appear to us that ordinary people but destabilizing than a simple daily.
Understanding not necessarily share . Then return to our home, our habits, to what we always do. Not necessarily "right" at all costs, but "our". Back enriched finding out what is superfluous to appreciate it even more. Being aware of having set eyes on something beautiful, that he had talked with ordinary people who can teach us more than we had hoped.
Travel. At the other end of the world or an hour's drive from your box. But do not bring yourself to visit something. Leave your ego at home, your certainties, your prejudices. Empty lots, with a light heart, with the curiosity of a child. Open yourself and absorb your surroundings, be it good or bad, funny or sad, pleasant or uncomfortable.
only briefly, for a limited time, you're not what you possess but be the place where you are.
And sometimes stop, breathe, stored, be aware of how beautiful the world, and how beautiful life.
only way the drive home will not be a return, but a new beginning.
