“Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.”

It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.

Is that aa bad thing? coming from a introvert, but exploring the world is not a bad thing. Most things written just feel like someone too afraid of things to change. That could be a personal choice, but definitely should not be generalised. You learn different cultures, experience different worlds, get different perspectives, etc.

quoting from AVtar the las air bender (not sure if i remember verbatim, but i hope i am close)

You should learn from all nations, if you do not, your information gets old and stale Uncle Iroh

And I love Iroh, so heavily biased
