All we need is a little magic.
This world is dull!
It doesn't take me a ten-day trip to realize that. Rather it took the ten-day trip plus a movie to get it in the right words.
Many people would disagree with me saying that the world is not dull. Well the dull I mean is not in the usual sense of dull.
When you travel about three thousand kilometers, where most of the time you are at 110 kilometers per hour, when you've dodged many huge holes and turned in some curves at the limit you begin to ask yourself why would anyone drive a car at approximately 300 kilometers per hour in a tight car doing rather sharp curves?
The answer is the same as to why would anyone do a parachute jump from a 30000 feet airplane.
Adrenaline.
Contrary to most species we humans do not have the constant threat to life, we don't need to hunt, escape a predator or fight amongst ourselves to mate. So one could say we live a very calm life.
Of course I am aware of the dangers of our society, and the very problems of our life stile. But in the end, few are the moments where our blood fills with adrenaline. And that is why we search to challenge ourselves and risk our lives. Because we miss adrenaline.
So not to go too far from topic, this is why I say that this world is dull.
We live our lives without stopping to pay attention to many things that surround us. We grow used to routines, and to conformism.
But it is very easy to get our attention to something near us. All it takes is a bit of magic. A new way to show something that sounds interesting and intriguing. If only we could incite people to enjoy a part of their world that has a lot of magic, but has been forgotten in the daily routine.
There is no need to risk our lives to get adrenaline in the blood, all we need is to realize all the interesting and unknown things that surround us, just waiting for us to explore, and get to know them. All we need in our lives is a little bit of magic.
