A traveller whose exclusive purpose is to reach a certain destination in the minimum 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 into learnt of the friendly advances of those he meets by the way and blind to the ever changing panorama along his route. He resents delay, finds 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 breath taking speed or in covering long distances carefree in record time. But the satisfaction is purely material and transitory, there is a thought of vainglorious pride about it and it smacks too much of business. The real abiding pleasure of traveling lies in the process, not in the accomplishment.
