Das coisas tão boas da vida adulta

Das melhores coisas que a vida adulta nos traz é que deixamos de sentir aquela urgência para viver as coisas tudo a correr...

Mesmo assim tenho essas tentações muitas vezes, mas essa pressa vai esmorecendo para o meu grande grande alívio. Às vezes a felicidade tem ligação directa ao sentimento de alívio.

"It seemed an advantage to be traveling alone. Our responses to the world are crucially moulded by the company we keep, for we temper our curiosity to fit in with the expectations of others...Being closely observed by a companion can also inhibit our observation of others; then, too, we may become caught up in adjusting ourselves to the companion's questions and remarks, or feel the need to make ourselves seem more normal than is good for our curiosity."

"We are inundated with advice on where to travel to, but we hear little of why and how we should go, even though the art of travel seems naturally to sustain a number of questions neither so simple nor so trivial, and whose study might in modest ways contribute to an understanding of what the Greek philosophers beautifully termed eudaimonia, or ‘human flourishing’.”
