Worrying about how others will do their camino is the most futile action I can think of at the moment.I'm scared that Camino Way will loose theirs soul. It will be follow by strange people who don't take care of the way marks, the other people, especially locals. Why? Because they will know all about the way from their devices, no backpacks, the luggage will follow them in the camino taxi, and accommodation with double bed and swim-pool outside. I saw that kind of walkers now.
I'm not happy with this. Why? Maybe I exaggerate, but I'm scared that Camino Way will loose theirs soul. It will be follow by strange people who don't take care of the way marks, the other people, especially locals. Why? Because they will know all about the way from their devices, no backpacks, the luggage will follow them in the camino taxi, and accommodation with double bed and swim-pool outside. I saw that kind of walkers now. The most important thing it was a phone with gps or something. They walk all time checking their way in it. It looks like sleepwalking. :cry:
I wouldn't give offence to somebody. But if you are feeling offended - please accept my apology.
Google translates as:Je n'ai que vingt arpents, répondit le Turc ; je les cultive avec mes enfants ; le travail éloigne de nous trois grands maux : l'ennui, le vice, et le besoin."
Travaillons sans raisonner, dit Martin ; c'est le seul moyen de rendre la vie supportable.
Toute la petite société entra dans ce louable dessein ; chacun se mit à exercer ses talents. La petite terre rapporta beaucoup. Cunégonde était à la vérité bien laide ; mais elle devint une excellente pâtissière ; Paquette broda; la vieille eut soin du linge. Il n'y eut pas jusqu'à frère Giroflée qui ne rendît service ; il fut un très bon menuisier, et même devint honnête homme ; et Pangloss disait quelquefois à Candide : " Tous les événements sont enchaînés dans le meilleur des mondes possibles ; car enfin, si vous n'aviez pas été chassé d'un beau château à grands coups de pied dans le derrière pour l'amour de Mlle Cunégonde, si vous n'aviez pas été mis à l'Inquisition, si vous n'aviez pas couru l'Amérique à pied, si vous n'aviez pas donné un bon coup d'épée au baron, si vous n'aviez pas perdu tous vos moutons du bon pays d'Eldorado, vous ne mangeriez pas ici des cédrats confits et des pistaches. -- Cela est bien dit, répondit Candide, mais il faut cultiver notre jardin.
Voltaire explained the concept in the singular:I have only twenty acres, said the Turk, I cultivate with my kids, work away from us three great evils: boredom, vice and need."
Work without reasoning, says Martin, is the only way to make life bearable.
The whole little society entered into this laudable design, and each began to exercise his talents. The small world brought a lot. Cunegonde was indeed very ugly, but she became an excellent pastry; embroidered Paquette, took care of the old machine. There was no up Giroflée brother who does a disservice, and it was a very good carpenter, and became an honest man, and Pangloss sometimes said to Candide: "All events are chained in the best of possible worlds, for Finally, if you had not been driven by a beautiful castle with great kicks in the behind for the love of Miss Cunegonde, if you had not been put to the Inquisition, if you did not America ran on foot, if you did not give a good sword to the baron, had you not lost all your sheep from the good land of Eldorado, you would not eat here candied citron and Pistachio. - This is well said, replied Candide, but let us cultivate our garden.
He planned to cultivate his garden as did Candide. The translator can view the garden as collective, but the act of cultivation as individual. Voltaire personally planned an individual act. I have no quarrel with either. The point in both cases is to mind one's own business.En 1773, Voltaire écrit à D’Alembert : « si j’ai encore quelque temps à vivre, je le passerai à cultiver mon jardin comme Candide. J’ai assez vécu comme lui ».

I think mine is an iPhone 3? I've had it a couple of years.
Right now I have an unlimited internet plan that came as a special with the phone so I don't want to turn it off.. .maybe I should purchase a different phone for the few months I'll be in Europe?
