Travel

The Uncharted Mind By Shon Mehta

We should travel – because only then we can truly unravel not just the vastness of the universe, but of our own mind.

Reading about travel, and actual traveling has the same difference as reading and seeing pictures of some dish, and actually tasting it.

Travel makes us more trusting of others. When we hire a cab, you trust the stranger will take us to the desired destination. We stay in a hotel and trust that we will be treated well.

When we travel to an unfamiliar land, and stay with the people, we get a feeling that these places and people are not so unfamiliar after all. We humans have this need to feel that we belong – so, we become more accepting of the dissimilarities, and even try to imbibe their culture.

Although I do not believe that only travel can give our life true meaning, I feel that the experience we get while traveling can be life-changing. It opens up our mind to thoughts that we never would have had otherwise.
