why are so many, so closed minded traveling this planet is a blessing that i can never describe in words, never speak by mouth, but only try and comprehend for myself what it is i am to understand and take with me from each new experience. in life there are so many choices we have that can change our lives forever, we are able to do whatever we wish if only we have the desire to make it happen, sometimes this may seem more difficult than it really is or more impossible than it may be but truly be but anything can be done. i have a new look on so many things in life just by what i have seen in the few countries i have visited thus far, the different cultures, different religions, different beliefs and ideas all help me understand myself in new ways. i try to stay open minded and never judge anyone for anything they may say or do and often i struggle with this.
Indonesia is a beautiful country and has so much to offer, i wish i could have spent much more time traveling throughout this one country but my time is limited and soon i have to keep moving where i will soon be traveling to Australia. i know that the holiday season is almost in full swing and to be honest i don't miss any of it because i think about how much we have shaped the Christmas holiday into a shopping festival of just giving gifts and the hassle it has become of just stress on so many for what. we buy materialistic things that mostly others don't need just because it has become almost the obligation of oneself and this should never be the case. i love the family coming together and the sharing of wonderful memories around the dinner table but never do i wish to be pushed into something that has become custom when really if you stop and ask yourself for what? its nice to give things to others and i am not saying this is wrong but for the simple reason of because for so many years that is what is expected i don't agree with that.
i think that everyone who believes in giving, well they should spend there money, buy themselves a plane ticket, fly to a 3rd world country and give your gifts to those who really need it. or don't even fly there, just spend your money as you always do and give it to a church organization or some organization who really gives it to those around the world who actually need these things to survive.  ¶ 3:26 AM
