A traveller whose exclusive purpose is to reach a certain destination in the minimum of time
has at once lost half the joy of his journey. He becomes preoccupied with the thought of his
goal and this preoccupation makes him intolerant of the friendly advances of those he meets
by the way and blind to the ever changing panorama along his route. He resents delay, obtains
every inconvenience irksome and frets and fumes at every hitch that threatens to upset his
carefully laid plans. There is, it is true, a certain satisfaction in being whirled in comfort
through space at breathtaking speed or in covering long distances carefree in record time. But
the satisfaction is purely material and transitory. There is a thought of vain-glorious pride
about it and it smacks too much of business. The real, abidling pleasure of traveling lies in
the process, not in the accomplishment.
