Dear Friend,

I am writing to tell you that I am completely filled with awe as you


have the chance to live abroad, somewhere where the sun doesn’t conceal itself behind
melancholy clouds and where I am sure you are going to be content. This can be a whole new
experience and wouldn’t you also accept the offer to go to paradise?

Firstly, you’ve always desired an adventure, and you could accept it here and now; walk through
a grand metropolis or through a jubilant crowd in a bustling market or through the temples
where every stone seems to sing with the voice of the people and all being a friend that you just
haven’t got to know yet. The grateful voices that would flow through your head as you embark
on this grand journey to see one fulfilled and novel society and ‘one fulfilled you’. Why replace
this fantasy with working in a dead-end job in a suffering country? Or lose the opportunity to
experience a new blossoming culture? Or leave this great gift of travel to turn into ‘could haves,
would haves and should haves’? You won’t have to be stuck with this history of old kings and
queens who had allegedly done ‘great-things’ that we all learn in school, instead you would face
a new history, one with an unfamiliar countenance and personality.

Travelling is essential to a person - we seek new mysteries and new knowledge that would be
hard to gain on this morose island and this intelligence carved into new lands is invaluable
compared to our usual drudgeries of exams and grades: no parent sees within their child, an
everlasting clockwork. Your children are your flesh, blood and soul. A room where the oldest
orders them to take notes and read textbooks is not what nature sees as conducive to learning.
Rather it is nature itself that is the best teacher for this next generation. Where would Isaac
Newton have discovered gravity if not under that fateful apple tree? Where would the theory of
evolution come from if not from the voyage of Charles Darwin to the Galapagos Islands? Where
would the telescope have been facing if not Galileo looked up at the starry night sky? The point
is, nature has always provided an answer to a thirst for knowledge and you have the choice of
the greatest teacher that mankind has encountered or one classroom for one human teacher. It
is a firm belief of mine that through a regular exposure to nature you and your family will get
taught by a truly flawless teacher.

Furthermore, through this your children will have made closer connections everywhere, formed
new relationships and would have understood the meaning of a great life in the same manner
as you. They would become the greatest examples to us all around the world. Instead of toying
with this illusion of socialising through technology, they would become receivers of a natural and
real life under your guidance. You would go on to help them make their first steps in creating a
better world. I understand that global warming is a core issue in our modern world and that we
do live in a truly sorrowful time in financial terms but I would like to believe that if all travelled it
would have
