More wisdom from The Book

"The speed and efficiency of transportation by super highway and air in many ways restricts freedom of travel. It is increasingly difficult to take a walk...All in the cause of "safety first" and foolproof living...Orderly travel now means going at the maximum speed for safety from point to point, but most reachable points are increasingly cluttered with people and parked cars, and so less worth going to see...
...Real travel requires a maximum of unscheduled wandering, for there is no other way of discovering surprise and marvels, which, as I see it, is the only good reason for not staying at home."
The Book, Alan Watts
