“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness.”

............. so much truth in so few words.

This world is full of so many negative actions and yet we have these little things that can overcome these huge difficulties. I think the quote is especially relevant to the modern context. We see so much of different cultures in videos and other medias that we tend to absorb those second hand opinions about a region before we actually get to experience their culture on our own.

Travel is perhaps the most important key to global dialogue and understanding at a person to person level (I am not talking about political dialogue). Once we live in place drink it's water and eat its food and sit with their people can we safely say that we got to know about them. This is perhaps what Twain meant about travel being fatal to prejudice.
