Tourism and Scriptures

This dialogue was written by Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho months, which is about the idea of ​​traveling, but we will find that he is also 
the face of self and self frankness 

The rejection of inertia 

With transitional recently for my new apartment and found a series of observations about the talks with the "c" one who belongs to a group mystical especially interested in studying the oral tradition, 2 and symbolic language in the world, and these observations covering the period between February 1982 and 1990, and recently asked him permission to share parts of the these texts and agreed (and thus ran) 

- I said: Going on the road to Santiago is important, and so one has to give up everything for some time for the sake of it, everything: family, work projects, and I do not know if I would find everything as it was when I came back 

In fact, I hope you will not find anything on what was 

So I have to accept the risk of losing everything I got it yet? 

- Loss of what? One has only spirit gets it or lose it, regardless of his life, does not have one thing, life in the future or your life in the past does not mean anything, you live now your life, and you have to do this in silence understands and enthusiasm and enjoy, what we must not do is losing your enthusiasm. 

I have a wife I love her 

(Laughing) This is the excuse most common and more excuses folly, love did not prevent one never pursue their dreams, if they like you really'll see you better, and if at all you do not have the woman you love, the woman is not Your, what possesses is the power of love-driven , and you can be channeled that energy from anywhere! 

And what if I did not have the money for the Hajj? 

Travel is not always a question of money but a matter of courage, I have spent a long time of your life, such as damage to the world of individual hippie 3, what was the money with you then? You can not pay the price of the ticket always, and in spite of everything I am persuaded that this period was one of the best periods of your life, you eat ate bad and sleep in train stations, did not you can communicate because of the language barrier, and you're forced to rely on others only for that find shelter to spend the night. 

Travel is something sacred, I've traveled since the dawn of human time .. the sea or on the ground; search of pasture and hunting, in the heat and in the cold or in the best conditions, the lack of human beings who are able to understand the world without leaving their homes, when they travel -and I am here I do not speak for tourism but for the unique experience of Rahlh- show four important things in your life: 

One in a different place from then disappear protective barriers, it is possible to be begging painful but soon Iatadha one, and then begins to understand: that exciting things outside the scope of one's garden fence. 

Where the unit may become a great and compelling; fool more open with people who do not share with them any conversations usually 

The waiter, the other travelers, the driver, conductor, traveler next to you ... 

One begins to rely on others for everything, find a hotel, buy something, how to ride the train, and then one starts to realize that relying on others is not a curse, it is a blessing versa 

One speaks in a language he did not understand, and uses the money does not realize its value, and wandering in the streets see it for the first time, and every one knows that what he has learned is worth nothing in openness to the world and to new experiences 

"The travel experience is to stop being a person who is trying to DO, to become a person who is you"
