Seeing the world

Its quite a cliche to hear people state their ambition or dream as "I want to see the world". But what does it really mean to see the world. Well the "experience" is the briefest way to describe the purpose and significance. Exploring new places also leads to self-exploration (I know that is a cheeky term, but can't come up with something better). In my experience when you are out there on your own experiencing new things, you unlock hidden closed boxes in yourself that you had no idea even existed. A new experience has the ability to touch your soul in ways that you have never dreamed or thought off. At that moment you remember the time you told yourself "that is not going to be me" or "I will never do that" or "That's ridiculous" or "That's stupid" or "This can never happen to me" or "How could someone ever do such a thing". You realize with a grin on your face that you were wrong.

So to all those people who want to see the world, be prepared for some classic humiliation.

Not only will you see the world, the world will also see you and focus its radioactive rays at you and mutate you into something or someone quite different. :P
