      For me, Pilgrimage on the Camino is a deeply spritual, emotional and introspective journey. This is the main reason I prefer to walk alone. Though it really has nothing to do with walking or hiking. I don't hike at home at all. The walking is...

      My Camino experience was steeped in gratitude despite the really hard days, physically, mentally and spiritually. I am a vegetarian, a choice I made for my health. I cannot change things that are out of my control such as animal agriculture. As...

      Maybe we should learn and remember this sentence of Jean-Christophe Rufin (a french writer) in "Immortelle Randonnée": "On leaving for Santiago de Compostela, I wasn't looking for anything and I found it"

      There are so many terrible things (and people) and so many wonderful things (and people) and everything in between. I like my caminos and the people I met on my caminos very much... but of course it is far from perfect... the caminos are in the...

      While I understand your pain how we as mankind treat this planet and life on it, I wonder why you could not talk about these things to anyone. I myself could talk about it for hours and I know many who are moved by these things. - Maybe you asked...

      We can only change ourselves. And it takes time. It takes time for many people just to connect with their own lives and their own bodies, let alone those of other beings. Not everyone lives to help others. But you can.

      Indeed the World can be a cruel and selfish place........... It's up to us to try to make it better bit by bit. Which I try to do every day. Every little bit counts ;) Perhaps you could share what you personally do to improve our World? I'm...

      That is the magical of the Camino: we meet other people who do not have anything common with us, but we often become friends because first the basic questions arise. Where to sleep ? What to eat ? How to cure this pain ? For me, pilgrimage began...

      Sounds like you wanted to shoehorn your personal beliefs about climate change and vegetarianism into conversation and other pilgrims didn't want to engage with you in such discussions. Good for them! Hmm, egocentric might be a better word then...

      CoreyGafnea reacted to Bradypus's post in the thread Pilgrimage - selfish? with Like Like.
      You seem to be suggesting that because someone does not wish to enter into conversation with you on a topic of your choice they have no interest or respect for that matter. Why do you assume that it is the duty of other pilgrims to be your...
