After consciously accepting a way of life which basis is to be service of others, I feel guilty at the thought of spending a relatively large sum on a graduation trip. A friend initiated for a weeks-long trip to a not-so-very-near-place. I reflected on what this trip means to me and what it symbolizes. Yes. Congrats to myself on graduation – I deserve a holiday. Is that it? For the feel-good? For the stories to tell? For the last-ever-long-trip-before-I-work-till-my-death? Do I need it, or am I already in deep appreciation of the wonders of the natural world?
I am super blessed to be well traveled. Mostly because my mum sees the value in travelling, and thus supports it, and also due to the fact that she used to work in the industry, and thus more opportunities.
With my experience, not that it’s extensively far and wide, I think I have seen enough. I mean, what else is there to see? Yes, difference sceneries, different wonders, different living environments, the food, the people etc. But what exactly will I see next or experience that will impact how I see the world or how I conduct myself differently?
And with all that I have seen and experienced, how much of that time, energy and money spent has affected me on the inside?
While is not my complete perspective on the topic, it’s one of the few discussions I have.
