The meaning of travel
Why travel? Is it to escape or to start again? Before deciding to travel, our hearts are filled with longing for the destination. We give so many definite and uncertain ideas to travel, hoping that it can bring meaning to us. Proust said: the real journey of exploration is not to see new places, but with new eyes. Then we can enjoy the visions in our mind countless times from different angles and light, until the scenery in front of US pulls us away from the deep-rooted impression from the TV media. But after arriving, even if we have more travel plans and give more meaning to travel, it will become far fetched. Like a map, the names of all the streets and roads indicated are clear at a glance. In fact, all the roads are like branches extending, which can not be distinguished. Or when you see the real object, no matter how winding and confusing the journey is, it will clear the clouds and see the sun, simple, direct and innocent. So the meaning of travel is to see the truth? Because we don't understand, we have to continue on the road until we understand.
