It's all relative! Enjoy it however long it is. As has been said many times before on this forum, everyone has to do their own camino, not anyone else's.

I would also like to respectfully point out to you that you were not personally attacked - you were not labelled provocative, although your post was. And indeed that was a fair comment. I would encourage you to hang around and learn from the many and varied opinions that are offered. As you have already discovered in this one post, others can see things differently to you and open your eyes to a richer way of viewing the world. There is much to be learnt here if you are willing to engage in debate without being offended and listen to others - and your own experience will no doubt be beneficial to others too.

This makes me curious, as I have seen other people on the forum saying they felt superior too, after having walked longer than the others.

I might be completely misinterpreting but my impression is that people are being very " tongue in cheek " about feeling superior, and its meant to be amusing.
I hope.
I agree if it is a stimulating thought. If it is just insult, such as demeaning someone else's pilgrimage, I would respectfully disagree. For example, your post is thought provoking. Had it been along the lines of "you are all idiots," it would be simply insulting. It is more about hubris than provocation, perhaps.A " provocative post " does not need to be seen as a negative thing at all!
