Why do people travel? This is a good answer I've heard

We often say that there must always be one body and soul on the way. This is easy to say, but not so easy to do.

Modern people’s life is extremely stressful. The pursuit of life is drowned in the rapids of the city. In order to survive, they struggle desperately in a small cubicle. Without ideals, their hearts become desolate.

People cannot just live, they must understand the true meaning of life. The reason for traveling is because the journey is not just walking, but also a process of reconciliation with one's own soul and a gentle embrace with the world.

Teacher Bi Shumin's "Life will eventually have a journey that touches the soul" is her most beautiful experience after traveling around the world. It is a refreshing and warm healing journey around the world, and it is also a meeting with the soul. agreement.

This book takes travel experiences as its theme and collects 23 travel notes and notes such as "Travel Makes Us Humble" and "66 Degrees North Latitude". After reading, people not only fall into deep thought, but also appreciate the beautiful scenery with the author and finally understand that travel is a way of life and an attitude towards life.

Travel can broaden one's horizons and knowledge

Bi Shumin once wrote in the article "Travel Makes Us Humble":

It is easy to live in a snail's nest for a long time. Let our vision be narrow, our minds narrowed, and our muscles weakened. Only during the journey will we become more tenacious and many memories can be resurrected like ghosts.

In Bi Shumin's view, travel is a kind of solvent that dissolves the dusty lid, and the smoke-like warmth rises. Simply put, travel is a kind of unknown power that arouses people's tireless yearning.

In this world, our vision and knowledge are incomplete. We cannot know whether a region or an era is the entire space and time. We are just poor summer insects and cannot be ignored. .

Traveling is to increase our knowledge, improve our horizons and knowledge, and allow ourselves to understand the world as much as possible.

Just imagine that when you have seen the glaciers and snow fields of Iceland, where the distant mountains meet the horizon, you will naturally have a new understanding of Iceland; when you see the waters of the Mediterranean Sea turn into a vast blue, You will naturally feel the magic of nature.

At the same time, the impact of travel is subtle, and these benefits will follow you throughout your life and make you a wise person, as the American writer Hemingway said:

If you are enough Fortunately, I lived in Paris when I was young, so no matter where you go from now on, Paris will always follow you

In life, many people think that the meaning of travel is a simple and short-term escape, seeking the short-term happiness in their hearts. Tranquility, in fact, is not all there is. The meaning of travel is to allow us to meet a better version of ourselves on the road and know how we should take our future path.

You should never make excuses for yourself when you are alive, because it is easy to miss many things if you make excuses. Once you miss it, it will be difficult to start again, and you can only experience this pain alone.

Now that the sun is shining and the breeze is calm, while you are young and still have the courage to leave, have an encounter with the soul and interesting stories, and strive to improve your vision and knowledge, and live a better life. A life that you like.

The best travel state, minimalist material and rich spirit

During the travel process, many people will buy some souvenirs, thinking that these souvenirs will really become souvenirs. In fact, they buy them back It won’t take long after you get home, these souvenirs will become clutter and become covered with dust. If you are not willing to take the responsibility of cleaning the souvenirs after buying them, it is best not to buy them, because a good tourist experience is not about bringing back a bunch of material things, but about spiritual enrichment.

Bi Shumin wrote such a detail in the article "66 Degrees North Latitude".

When she traveled domestically, she often bought some small local souvenirs and put them in her bookcase. At first, she often took them out to watch, but as time went by, she became indifferent and even refused to talk to them. .

Once, the bamboo Lijiang boat and osprey model she bought in Guilin disappeared, so she asked her husband where they were.

My husband said that during the Spring Festival, these two things were covered with dust. I originally wanted to wipe them, but I didn’t expect that the osprey turned into a pile of mud when it touched the water, and the bamboo boat was also affected by the heating. , so dry that it cracked, so he had to throw them away.

After learning this lesson, Bi Shumin became more restrained and restrained when traveling again. She no longer bought souvenirs that had no practical value, because she did not want to take care of these things, which was a waste of money. Money will occupy public space at home.

We travel to enrich our souls, not to get a bunch of worthless souvenirs.

There is a good saying on the Internet:

The value of an item depends on how much it can contribute to you in the end, rather than placing it in an idle corner. Here, there is so much brilliance.

Material minimalism is indeed particularly important. It will enhance a person's happiness and improve a person's happiness index instead of living in pain.

The most famous Japanese organization expert in Japan, 34-year-old Japanese cartoonist Xu Liwu, does this very well.

Xu Liwu’s story was remade into a 6-episode Japanese drama “My Home Is Empty”. In Xu Liwu’s view, only by minimizing material things can one live a happier life. She thinks that among 100 suitable items, she only needs to keep 10 of her favorite items, and the rest can be thrown away.

You must know at all times, whether traveling or in life, material simplicity will allow a person to have more energy and time to do more meaningful things, and will maximize the value of one's happiness. change.

If a person learns to streamline his belongings, throw away useless extraneous things, and abandon ignorance and troubles, then he will naturally live a particularly happy life.

People who travel frequently have an optimistic and open-minded attitude

During the journey, we will encounter various unexpected situations, which may be difficult to accept at first, but in the end we can only Accept it with a smile, because in the end you realize it's not the worst.

People who like to travel have an optimistic and open-minded mentality, because they have seen more and experienced more human relationships, and naturally they will not compete with others.

Bi Shumin told such a story in the article "Amur Bay Petition", which was very touching after reading it.

A group of them traveled to Vladivostok, Russia. Because Russian cars were not punctual, they struggled for a long time. When they finally arrived at the Amur Hotel, everyone was already hungry.

I thought I would be able to eat delicious food, but I didn’t expect that I almost starved to death. The food provided in the hotel was not good, but it was difficult to fill up.

The hotel manager provided four dishes, including raw shredded cuttlefish, raw tomato slices, fried dough like steamed buns, and black tea. The staple food was black bread.

Faced with these foods, everyone was filled with indignation but had no choice. They wanted to go back to the room to make instant noodles, but found that there was no boiling water in the entire hotel.

Then they became more and more angry, so they went to the Vladivostok Tourism Bureau to complain. The person who received them was the deputy director of the tourism bureau. After hearing about their problems, the deputy director of the tourism bureau directly said that it was good to eat these. Because their travel money has not come in, and now all food is paid in advance.

When the tour guide made it clear that this was not the reason because cash could not be carried when crossing the border and it would take a certain amount of time to cash checks between the two countries, the deputy director of the Tourism Bureau still said that he had no money. For this reason, Bi Shumin and his party only You can choose to accept it.

In the face of this situation, there seems to be no way but to accept it. You can only force yourself to maintain a good attitude, because being angry will not only fail to solve the problem, but will also make the problem worse.

I saw this sentence online, and I really liked it:

People who travel frequently will be more confident in their hearts. They know how to control their emotions and not make things difficult for themselves, because they have experienced a lot. Now that I have seen the complexity of this world with my own eyes, I am naturally calm and calm in the face of the joys, sorrows and joys of life.

When a person's mentality becomes optimistic and open-minded, then there are very few things in the world that can make him angry, and all things are not worth it to him.

Those who like to travel know better about planning

It may seem like a simple statement to take a quick trip, but in fact, it requires careful planning. Those who really like to travel People will arrange their time and consumption reasonably, which will make travel more valuable.

Those who do not plan before traveling actually do not know how to travel, and it is even harder for them to appreciate the beauty of the journey. According to Bi Shumin, traveling is first and foremost a physical marathon.

In terms of body, she feels that there are three most important things. The first is time. When a person's time is exhausted, nothing can be done.

Secondly, let go of sorrow. The author believes that sorrow is the fatal killer of travel. People can only travel when they have no worries at all. If you are still worried about your livelihood when you go out, don’t go out. Otherwise, this process It's particularly painful.

Once again, live in the moment of your body. To put it simply, when you are in good health, you can just lift your legs. But if you reach a certain age and your health is not in good condition, your arms and legs will It cannot withstand a beating, so it is best not to travel, as it will endanger your life.

People who really know how to travel will naturally plan everything. Only in this way can travel really be called travel, and the body will be in step with the soul. In other words, a person who does not know how to plan is not a good traveler. .

My friend Qiao An especially likes to travel, and she also knows how to plan. Every time she sets out, she is in the best condition. She often tells me that she will encounter various things during the trip. It’s hard to be happy with planning.

Before setting off, Qiao An will prepare a strategy. She will not just take a quick trip, but will take a good swim with her soul. This is why her life is exciting enough.

If you also like to travel, then make plans and have fun while everything is just right. As long as you are willing to start, it is never too late.

As there is a saying on the Internet:

If you really want to travel, it will never be too late to start, because as long as you are ready, you can achieve your ideals. If you live a life without distractions, you will be happy enough.

Life is short, don’t always leave yourself with regrets. If everything is just right, please listen to your inner voice, do what you like, and go out into the world.

Good travel should be as natural as breathing. Good travel should be the life and death dependence of body and soul. In this colorful world, we must eventually have a journey that touches the soul.

When traveling, never let your body move too fast. When your body moves too fast, please be patient and wait for your soul to catch up.

In the days to come, I hope you and I will understand the true meaning of travel like Bi Shumin. Even if the soul cannot illuminate our journey like a candle, at least we must follow through the joys and sorrows. .
