[QUOTE="JabbaPapa, post: 799288, member: 195"] If I might suggest that some people are cheating themselves of a certain degree of experience on the Camino, it is neither to diminish those people, nor to make myself feel "better", nor to cover up for any "insecurity", nor engage in any "one-up-manship", nor to be "judgmental". Indeed, to suggest that it might be any of those things is, rather ironically, a put-down in itself. I am not "better" than any other pilgrim, nor is any other pilgrim my "inferior", nor either of those in reverse. This does not mean that a certain Discipline of the Way is not a worthy pursuit in itself though ; and it is [I][U]to wish the good of the other[/U][/I] by saying that it is worthwhile to pursue that Discipline, and certainly [I]never[/I] to denounce anyone for not having done so. As for "[I]they only stay in alberques[/I]", it's pretty bogus ; it's not where you sleep that makes your Camino, nor has it anything to do with the Discipline. It might be on a dirt floor in an abandoned barn, it might be a bed in a three star hotel, a bed kindly offered in someone's home, a [I]refugio[/I] or an [I]albergue[/I], or even just outside somewhere ; I've slept in all sorts of places, and not one of them defines what any of my Caminos have been in themselves ; they may characterise what my pilgrimages have been [I]like[/I] to an extent, but mostly they just define how well or poorly I might happen to sleep on a particular night, but never do they define what it means to be a pilgrim.
