The Problem With Travel


Lying at night in bed or waiting at the train station
We often dream of waking dreams about where it would be better for us to go: perhaps the shores of Goa in the Indian West Coast
Or a small restaurant next to the quiet canal in Venice
Or highway in Big Sur, California
Or perhaps Faroe Islands, or far away in northern Scotland,
The desire to travel often comes because of one or two pictures
A pair of mental snapshots encapsulate within her everything that is fascinating about the destination.
A journey that takes a few hours and costs us what equals a small fortune that can start with nothing big or experienced
More than one picture or two in mind
We travel because of a belief in our subconscious mind
Of course, the scene is actually more beautiful than the fleeting images in our mind that take us there
But there is a way to work our mind that should be studied first before we pack a suitcase
Mental images instantaneous
This at most remains three seconds
We imagine the scene, we do not imagine a film but something more brief
In many ways, something more tolerant: a picture
That is why we are never in a place other than just a minute. This harsh truth is enough to cause a painful loss to our hopes
Which moves us away from our home we know this phenomenon well in the cinema
Imagine the course of the story: Only a high-profile picture appeared on the screen
Sea waves hitting rocks can be sighed with a desire in this beautiful scene
But if the camera began to slow down this scene, we might gradually feel weary
The wonderful thing in a few seconds will become a nerve after a minute text
In two minutes it will become very annoying to the degree that we are leaving our seats
This is not to say that we are not appreciative, or we think that we can absorb beauty quickly and then go
Beauty is a genius joke, we laugh but we do not need to re-shake the element repeatedly
Granny in the images in our mind that drives us to travel
In essence, it is something that is modified and added to its counterpart in any destination
We will definitely see these photos, but we will see more things with them
We will see what is painful, boring, frustrating and empty, just a few feet away from the colorful and luxurious airport in front of us
The back of the taxi driver’s head, the cheap hostel wall
A photo of Marilyn Monroe on the wall of a local restaurant
More, there will be something between us and the one we came to
Something complicated and unfair reduces the goal and pleasure of leaving home in the first place
Which is: ourselves, we bring “ourselves” an unavoidable error to all destinations
Which we wanted to enjoy and that means bringing a lot of mental problems
Which makes our being “we” an intolerable dilemma day after day
All anxiety, regret, confusion, guilt, excessive irritation and despair
Nothing of this appears to us when we imagine a picture of a journey from home. In our imagination we can enjoy the scenery without any fault
But there is at the foot of the golden temple, or at the top of the snow-capped mountains
We stand to find that there are so many “us” in the dark
We destroy our trips by the inevitability of taking “ourselves” with us There is a comic tragedy in sarcastic cynicism at work says:
The great effort to make us in a physical place does not necessarily make us closer to the essence of what we are looking for
Just as air lines collide, hotel chains, travel magazines do not even tell us never
In daydream about the best holiday site
We can already be our dream of the greatest pleasure that can be offered to us :))
