Humans are called social beings, do you know why? Well, I’m not sure I know why either but if there is one thing I know, even our bodies were built in a way that there are hormones that are responsible for making us have the different emotions we feel and even how we react to literally anything. Humans are not to be in a one man’s squad, going alone is not something anyone should do even though they can, rather, it is good to socialize and make beautiful and meaningful relationships.
The reason why I’m stressing on the fact of what humans are and should be is because, as people who are made as social beings, there are just some certain things that we all should have an experience of, at least once in a lifetime. There are actually more than one thing I think everyone should have a taste of at least once in their lifetime but then, I know that sometimes even we ourselves give up on doing most of these things because of some unpleasant situations we find ourselves in.
So for my suggestion, one thing I think everyone should have a taste of at least once in a life time is, TRAVELING. As casual as it may seem to some of us, it will interest us to know that, there are some people somewhere that have chosen never to step their legs outside the town they were given birth in, others who for one reason or another, have no choice but to remain in one place and for me, this is quite limiting and not fair to them and even some persons around them. I mean, most times it’s not really because they don’t have the money to leave their hometown but they have just decided not to leave.
And that was why I was stressing the part that we are social beings. And besides that, do you know that our perspectives of things change or get better the more we move from place to place? There was this guy who once said, he believes that his mother's food was the best and every other person's food was not as tasty as his mother’s food until the day he tasted someone’s food and he was force to admit that what he said wasn’t true. Most times, we get the idea of things just based on the little we have experienced and that is why we most times have arguments with people unnecessarily because we find it hard to be open enough to unlearn to relearn.
What traveling does to you is something you can only understand until you have gotten that experience. The more you meet people, the more you hear ideas or beliefs that are really strange but then, you either get more understanding on how to pass the right idea or you learn the better idea. Staying in a particular place all your life is not a bad decision but I believe you will be more happier if you don’t stay in just a place all your life. It is basically you basking in your comfort zone. And trust me, stepping out of a comfort zone is something that takes a lot of determination to do.
Go out there, meet new people, find new interests and listen to others ideas and perspectives about different things, learn, teach and keep growing and becoming a better person. Staying in one place will only make you more rigid and worst cases, it will make you look timid for a long time. I know it might be hard for someone who has never left their town to make up their mind to do so, especially for the fact that they will get to realize that they have missed out on so many things but then, it’s never too late to start learning.
Visiting different places will definitely make you try out new dishes and even get to attend some occasions too. I really think that this is one thing everyone has to try out at least once in a lifetime and there are so many reasons of which I have mentioned only a few. Take some time to think about it and be intentional about leaving your beautiful hometown to other places. You can start with the neighboring towns and cities. Remember, it’s always good to dream big but start small, hehe.
Thank you for stopping by. I’d love to know what you think about my thoughts of “at least one thing everyone should have a taste of”.
