Mark Twain

Username By Joshua | May 10th, 2005 | Comments 6 Comments »

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.” —Mark Twain, 1857

I think this quote sums up the reason behind why people are prejudice. We fear what we do not know or understand. By traveling we meet people who are diferent than us and we experience culturess taht we never experienced outside our own little world.

This quote is why I encourage all the youth I work with (in class, in girl scouts, in church) to get out there and volunteer abroad. At age 14, our daughter went on a trip to Cartago, Costa Rica through Girl Scouts and Cross Cultural Solutions. An amazing experience!

Americans, more than any other people in the world - need to learn to live by Twains quote!

They are ignorant in thinking their bankrupt culture is paramount in the world
