00:00Today's culture glorifies travel, experience and living fully as freedom.
00:05The excitement often feels no different than craving money or status.
00:09So are these modern dreams just repackaged versions of the old desire?
00:14I want water, here is water and I get water, I drink it and I find I have remained equally
00:26thirsty. Has the experience succeeded? No. Because it was not for nothing that I went to this tumbler.
00:35I went to this one with a very particular purpose. What was the purpose? To quench the desire,
00:41which is in this case, thirst. But that didn't happen. So the energy and time I've invested
00:48in the effort has gone waste. So the desire for travel or experience, if you go after
00:54these things and they teach you something that reduces the need for more and more endless
01:03similar experiences, then the effort has succeeded. But if you travel and that only makes you travel
01:12even more, then what are you travelling for? So that's what you have to test yourself on.
