Travelling Theory
This is probably the roguest title in the world of lies made articles. Pause. I still remember the rubishly endless talks of my “Communication Theory” and “Information Theory”professors back in the freshman year at college -Oh! The gullible path made of idealism crumbs to the journalism profession!-. Foolishness. Delusion. Hold on, I can’t forget ignorance and insolence; sometimes theorizing is just a loss of time. Theories about certain issues should build a Babel Tower and destroy each other while facing lack of understanding. Or at least that’s what I imagine would happen when theorizing about embarking on journeys. Travelling, eyes wide open and the atonishment capability handy in your pockets, insatiable of knowledge, is probably the best source of learning. Not by chance is a source for which no handbook exists…At least not for the genuine traveller. Let’s not misunderstand the statement, the Lonely Planet guides are splendid and a good deal of help on the way to wherever you’re heading off to. But a noble -in mood and vocation- traveller will always look for the out of the track lane and will go for it, perhaps facing more than a fright. And will do it under the effects of personal obsession, maybe even cult or a specific way of doing things. A traveller, in the strict sense of the word, will have nomad manners -not visitor’s-, and a relentless thirst for local cultures felt hug and home, brushing if possible their understanding.
You totally miss the point – perhaps you should have listened more carefully during your studies. Your ability to express yourself intelligibly in the English language might also have been improved.
