319. That's All Folks

Who to travel (or live) with: I think "righteous" or “holy” people are the best companions but I guess these words will mean something different to everyone, of course.


Some of the very best people don’t like to think of themselves as either righteous or holy! 

But when you have had enough earthprobing experience to develop some discrimination, I think you will agree that you can depend more on “righteous” or “holy” people through thick and thin than "unrighteous" or “unholy” people.  

I define "holy" as someone who builds you up, makes you better—just like they are. “Unholy” people are selfish---tear you down and make you a worse person—just like they are.


For me, "righteous" or “holy” is never boring, it’s classy!

Help: It is probably not possible for a traveler not to need help fairly often 
so when you need help, I suggest you go to the “religious” people in any country—that is, to the simple religious people, not necessarily the professionally religious people-- and you will usually get the simple, practical help you need—and it will usually be free. This works for me.


Don’t bother going to rich people for help. They don’t understand “need” and they will never help anyone but themselves.

And speaking of help: Tanya Wold did all the initial computer work necessary to get this old book of mine back into print and she constantly helps me when I have computer or internet problems. Tanya is my wife, inspiration and charming earthprobing companion. Thanks, Tanya!
