Sunday Morning south of Sydney

Travellers often say that visiting such and such a place was 'life changing'.
From my observations nothing much has changed in them, post travel.
They talk the same,walk the same and definitely think the same.

Can a woman hater change by visiting Notre Dame?
Does a bigot change from standing beneath Mount Fuji?

I've met some who have seen the slums of Delhi or the Concentration Camps of  Poland.
They still walk past the street beggars and still lump people into groups they can despise.

An experience of any sort changes life but to change yourself you have to change your mind,your thoughts patterns,your consciousness.
