“We are driven into wild rage by our luxurious lives, so that whatever does not answer our whims, arouses our anger.” –Seneca
You’re hot and sweaty.
Hours of walking with a heavy bag has left your feet aching and your clothes are sticking to your skin.
You drank the last of your water hours ago, and now your throat is parched.
The heat is making it hard to think, and it will be at least another five miles before the next town.
You’re in a foreign land, and you barely speak enough of the language to get by.
On top of it all, you’re still jet lagged.
Anger is creeping up your spine along with prickly heat from the midday sun.
There, at what feels like the edge of your mental and physical limits… is where things get interesting… where travels become a teacher.
