Question
Read the first two paragraphs and discuss the need to travel.
Solution
We travel firstly to lose ourselves and next, to find ourselves. We travel to take our ignorance or knowledge to the places which are of different economic statuses. We also travel to become young fools again. In the words of George Santayana, “We need sometimes to escape into open solitudes, into aimlessness, into the moral holiday of running some pure hazard.” We need to travel in order to attain a better balance of wisdom or compassion and seeing the world clearly. Travelling also enables us to see everything in a new light.
