The Only Way to Travel Is
on Foot

When anthropologists turn
their attention to the twentieth century, they will surely choose the
label “Legless Man”. Histories of the time will go something like
this: “In the twentieth century people forgot how to use their
legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very
early age. The surprising thing is that they didn’t use their legs
even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts
and roads to the top of every huge mountain.” The future history
books might also record that we did not use our eyes. In our hurry to
get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way.
Air travel 0ves you a bird’s-eye view of the world.

Car drivers
in particular, never want to stop. The typical twentieth-century
traveller is the man who always says ‘I’ve been there’–
meaning,
“I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere
else.” When you travel at high speeds the present means nothing:
you live mainly in the future, because you spend most of your time
looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival
when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. The
traveller on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the
present. He experiences to present moment with his eyes, his ears and
the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious
physical weariness. He knows that sound satisfying sleep will be his:
the just reward of all true travellers.

Arguments:
Discuss the following statements in small groups. Are you for or
against travelling on foot, why?

For:

1.
Even on holiday: cable railways, ski-lifts, roads to tops of
mountains.

2.
When travelling at high speeds present

means
nothing: life in future.

3.
Traveller on foot: lives constantly in present

4.
Typical twentieth-century traveller: «I’ve

been
there.» Italy, Delhi, Paris; through at 100 miles an hour.

Against:

1.
Foolish to climb a mountain when there’s a railway or road up it

2.
Travelling at high speeds is a pleasure in itself.

3.
Travelling on foot: exhausting: you get nowhere fast

4.
