We live in a complex world where, unfortunately, the idea that we should not accept suffering is widespread, although this is naturally part of life, some currents insist on confronting this reality, so many people do not tolerate it, and when they find it, they flee. Sometimes the escape takes the form of a long journey.
It’s very common to hear that someone is so tired of everything they want to “leave. “Some people make this idea a reality. They take a trip to leave behind all their conflicts, or maybe it’s better to say they escape their reality by making a trip.
- We need to understand the difference between growth travel and escape travel.
- The first are those born of a healthy desire to broaden horizons and discover the world.
- Escape travel is crossings that usually start from an idealization of fate and end with the unseanctantness in front of you and.
- Perhaps.
- Great confusion.
“Travelling is a state of mind, a way to review our perspectives on the world and ourselves, to explore and observe. But it is never the answer to all our problems, it is never a method to eliminate anxiety and, to some extent, will it always be disappointing ??Miranda Ward?
There is a subtle but at the same time profound difference between walking away to see a problem from another angle and walking away as an escape shape. The tricky part is we don’t always know if we’re doing it one or the other. .
A trip is precisely one of those opportunities that serve to change perspective or escape, one way or another each trip disconnects us from routine and common problems, when you make a long journey so as not to return in the short term, disconnection is much more radical.
The health or neurosis of this option depends on the motivations and objectives, if the motivation is to break with anything that causes discomfort, we are probably talking about an escape trip, if the goal is to find that place where everything will finally be in place and where happiness will await us, we are probably also talking about an escape.
We go on a growth journey when we want to know new things, we are curious about the world and we want to discover new horizons, this is not associated with the problems we have on a daily basis, but with a strong desire to broaden our perspective. , learn and live. It is planned and is not preceded by conflicts, but by joys.
An escape journey, on the other hand, is made from exhaustion. It was born of the desire to ignore what haunts us and to eliminate everything we don’t like. There is no desire to write a new page, but to delete the previous ones.
It is planned relatively superfluously and has more to do with impulse than with reason, it is often preceded by dense silences, screams and slams.
The real difficulty is that we can run away from anything but ourselves. Generally, the problems we want to leave behind arise again in our destiny. As the stage changes, the essence of what happens to us remains the same. it’s probably getting worse.
There are times when human beings resist and are afraid to explore in themselves because they do not want to give up certain fantasies or because they are afraid to touch wounds that they believe cannot heal, does not flee because they are cowardly or because of lack of character They do so because they believe it is an effective solution, but it is not.
Every time you travel there are events that captivate you because they really give the illusion of living a new life, however, as days, weeks and months pass things change, there is no place in the country without sadness, disappointment, selfishness, envy, anger and anything that, at first glance and at first glance, is not captured.
When the novelty is over, the unrest is likely to return, it can take other forms or manifest itself in other ways, but it will be there, then we may think that we are wrong, that the hidden treasure is in another country, in another continent And eventually we will embark on a new escape journey.
