When I travel, I see how people live, sing, play, work, eat, study, dance, strive to be better, honor their past, expect a wonderful life, interact with strangers, are a family, open their hearts to new possibilities, show me the best of their World, are proud of their way of Life, do the best to make me feel welcomed, are eager to know me, are humble, simple, content, happy.
When I am there, I refuse to see their poverty, struggles, corruption, filth, lack of courtesy, disorganization, envy, hate, sadness.
What is good is that I have the capability of choosing what I see or not.
Or how I may be impacted by my travels.
