Its over

´´They spend time. That´s just it. They spend time travelling. The time weighs heavily on them because they lack any context, any valid framework for their lives. They persist in hoping that something they think they will find in the place they are heading for will somehow provide them with a fulfillment they feel certain they deserve and yet have never come close to experiencing.

Some travel forever in hope and are serially disappointed. Others, slightly less self-deceiving, come to accept that the process of travelling itself offers, if not fulfilment, then relief from the feeling that they should be feeling fulfilled´´

Look To Windward. Iain M Banks
