We always say that reading 10,000 books and traveling 10,000 miles is not the same as traveling all over the world, and I don't think travel is so informative now.
In the past, I read thousands of books, traveled thousands of miles, the road was walked out with my feet, and you will see a lot of scenery along the way, encounter a lot of problems, and then solve problems, increase knowledge, and now go out to take a car, plane, high-speed rail, travel is consumption, eating, drinking and having fun, but it is just a consumption trap, and most of us travel to experience different scenery, Customs, relaxation, this is a kind of sightseeing tourism, you can ask yourself, travel back, do you really feel that you have changed all of a sudden, become seen in the world? I think most people are very tired when they come home, they want to sleep, and they will not review what they have gained in the trip at all.
Many parents in order to let their children increase their knowledge, as soon as the holiday time to go out to play, to Tiananmen, climb the Great Wall, to Jiuzhaigou, to the museum, but finally found that the child's pattern is still not open, has not seen the world, in fact, with children travel is just to go to the parents think that they can increase their knowledge, children are not so interested in these meaningful attractions in the eyes of adults, for children, to enjoy the magnificent mountains and rivers, Looking at the great buildings, may not touch their feelings, it is better to go to the beach to build castles, pick shells, go to the trees to pick fruits, go to the field to catch loaches and so on this ordinary way of life to travel to the happiness, will also increase their memory, for children do not know the feelings of home and country, because they do not have a clear understanding of daily life, more to take them to understand the rich and diverse daily life, to establish their three views.
For adults, I think that if you want to really have a long insight, you can't go sightseeing to "see" around the world, you need to understand the place you go to in advance, and then get to know the city with the mentality of learning and understanding, beautiful, bustling, sad, noisy, and lively to see, rather than looking at this place as a tourist.
In the past, the car and horses were slow, and there was only enough love for one person in a lifetime, and it may take several months from south to north in the past, and these things experienced on the road can continue to reflect on themselves, and now the information is developed, we can get all kinds of information from the mobile phone, every trip is a horse and flowers, and the circle of friends has become a variety of p picture contests, everyone sees the beautiful scenery on the pat, and then the circle of friends collects likes, to satisfy their vanity, and friends talk about saying that I have been to this place, have been to that place, what is delicious in this place, what is good in that place, in addition, is there anything else to say？
There is a saying on the Internet that I think is very good, "the essence of travel is consumption", it is difficult to do a truly meaningful trip, and it can not bring us much insight, maybe you find that no, travel is not as much as we read a book! So travel really broadens your horizons? does it really make you have a long insight?
At the end of the day, travel doesn't make much sense, at least for most people, it's just an interesting thing, eating, drinking, having fun, but life is too short, don't leave regrets, if everything is just right, then set off to the world.
