The more I travelled...

When I was in my twenties I travelled and lived in close to 30 countries for a while the more I seemed know what different places were like. I began to make statements like Norwegians are lovely people, or Thais are so gentle..., it seemed to me I was becoming and man of the world.
There was a point though at which it dawned on me that all this experience was making me an expert at making informed generalizations.
I dropped that approach and now aim to see not the differences between people but look deeply find that common ground of humanity which we all share.
If your going to generalize be global like the dalia lama and see that we all simply want happiness.
