Tourists Of Life, Always Passing Through

Tourists of life, collectors of emotions, hunters of shows. .. call them what you want, but they will always be far from the eternal teaching of Henry David Thoreau, who said “I went to the forests because I wanted to live conscientiously, I wanted to live thoroughly and extract everything the core of life, and put aside everything that was not life, so as not to discover at the time of my death that I had not lived.

The tourists of life love to travel, talk, do and move, but they rarely stay long enough in one place to learn the internal logic of the behaviors it promotes, the most intimate explanations. In addition, his mind is usually a complete hotbed of activities necessary to fill the endless emptiness of a soul that does not know how to find peace and shelter.

In reality, the tourists of life have a serious problem of self-esteem and self-confidence. Hence, they make up for their inability to look inside their brain with constant activities that don’t fill them up, but keep them entertained.

The human development of life tourists

One of the main problems found in people who adopt behaviors that we call life tourists is their inability to exercise their own adequate human development. They are unable to find their personal path.

If we understand human development as current psychology shows us, we will know that it is a transformative process that seeks a constant improvement in living conditions to reach a high degree of dignity in the individual.

Human development requires transformations at all levels, from personal to psychological, logically passing through social capacity. What social level can a profile reach that does not know how to listen and attends everything as a distant audience?

If human development is responsible for identifying personal needs to humanize and dignify the subjects that make up a society, it is evident that the path of self-knowledge, creativity, participation, adequate coexistence, expression, equality and even Self-determination and self-actualization are part of this process.

Fundamental needs

Most current psychological currents make three important points in fundamental human needs today. If we look closely, we will see that the tourists of life tiptoe over them:

• Human needs are multiple, interdependent, and capable of interacting. Between them they complement and compensate to create satisfaction processes. If a person does not listen, does not know himself and generally prefers the noise of a show to the silence of thought, where is his ability to find his true self?

• According to many current sociological researchers, human needs are universal and recur throughout history. The social situation of each era simply defines the mechanisms available to satisfy them. In other words, the tourists of life have been with us for centuries.
• Satisfied human needs occur in three interrelated contexts. They occur with oneself, with the social group and with the environment itself. If someone is not able to listen to their mind, their environment and their own life, what goes through their brain?

Leaving tourism to find healthy styles

The well-being and the ability of life tourists to find more complete and beneficial healthy styles remains at their fingertips. Their own social processes, habits, behaviors, traditions and their own behavior are always there:

• Currently, there are dozens of psychological studies that focus on the benefit of giving meaning to the life of the individual through the search for objectives and the plan of action.
• Identity, seeking a feeling of belonging to a specific social group or self-esteem are of great help to find well-being.
• The need to learn rather than see. Internalize knowledge, interpret, use critical thinking …

• Promoting solidarity, tolerance or proper negotiation are vital in this regard.

Remember that the tourists of life tiptoe through the world. Your body is everywhere, but your mind is not. It is not about going through a place, but about that place passing through you. Learn everything within your reach and let yourself be imbued by everything that can teach you valuable lessons, approaching you to a state of fulfillment, knowledge and happiness.
