Human Beings are the carrier of this coronavirus and one of the reasons for its sudden world widespread is we are travelling more either for work or for pleasure. The wish to travel a lot, explore new places in search of pleasure has increased a lot in us which ultimately made one lakh flight to hit the horizon in a day before COVID-19.
The Joy of Travelling
The Uttering of the word vacation even will create joy in our faces. When we travel to new places we always visit the beautiful attractions and enjoy the artwork there, meet new friends, taste nice food and explore a new culture. This makes us live in the present moment while halting the past worries and future anxieties. Life always has to be lived in the present moment and travel makes it much easier.
Let’s Create a Beautiful Boundaries around us
Fundamentally the reason for travel is to move away from self-created boundaries such as a home and work. The boundaries that we created ourselves for a safe living will become cages if we are getting stressed about work and not getting a proper life at home. Then we will always try to visit for weekend pleasures for forgetting work and home.
Let’s do/ decide the work as an enjoyable process where we end up with joy instead of stress. The mandatory chores such as cleaning and cleaning in the home can be done along with listening to music. Instead of spending time with entertainment lets focus on creating something that outlasts our lives. If we spend on entertainment we will end up as an audience and when we create something beautiful we could become heroes.
Greed to see More.
We are living in the age of social media where we spend most of our time in seeing other’s status and check-ins about travel. When I see the status of someone’s trip and if I didn’t go there, then the EGO in me makes it to add it on my wish list and increase my greed to visit new places.
EGO always arises when there is I and when we forget all of us are interconnected beings. Let’s get cherished on others trip experiences as our own. As a traveller Lets share the trip experiences in a way that others can learn /enjoy from it instead of getting jealous about it.
Purpose over Pleasure
Before travel always check that purpose of travel will outweigh the carbon footprint generated by the usage of plane or car. The travel for mere pleasure will add further footprints to the beautiful earth and there are many ways we can get the same pleasure in our home. We shouldn’t completely avoid the travel in our life, the point is that travel should be a life-changing positive experience where there are lots of learning for improvement in self and thereby we could evolve as better Human beings.
Nature always wants all kinds of life, to flourish on earth, but if one species tries to dominate others for mere pleasure then its natures wish to make it even. COVID is the Natures way of reminding us not to Wander with a lust for pleasure!
Let’s explore the world for a greater purpose with much-limited exploitation!
