Traveling alone-2500 years ago and today Part 7

I've been trying to figure out how some of the more important control keys were designated and why I always come up with things i want to add to poetry after its writen.
Control V is to paste, control p will just print.
Control A is to select all
Control Z is to undo.  It should have something to do with zombies.  Perhaps it does.  Electronic zombies come to take out whatever you have added.
Control c is to copy
You can change these commands, but why would you unless you are an anarchist.

I think love is like a string.  You test it severely enough and it breaks.  But I also wonder if it isn't more like time, where no matter how you pull it, it seems to stay the same.  Maybe one day, this will be a poem and will discuss it in more depth.  Is it something you should escape, letting it drag you back till one day it breaks and you are suddenly free?  Is it a slower process, something that stretches and stretches till it loses all of its appearance, but never totally breaking?

Traveling should give you time and you should not rush through travel.  Modern technology destroys the advantages of travel in so many ways in favor of getting you to the end.  The analogy is with life.  Getting there is not what matters since "there" is an end and nothing, at least to all appearances.  All that matters in the end is how you get to the end and who you travel with.

The thoughts that come to you when you are traveling applied equally 2500 years ago and today, only the speed at which they happen changes.

In olden times, there was a measure we've all seen (and we still see in Don Quixote) known as the league, defined as "approximately 3 miles".  Today, that distance would be but the passing of a thought.  But walking at a slow pace, it might take an hour.  There is talk of an Inn a league in the distance.  At dusk this might result in arriving after the sun goes down.  Driving it would be indicated by a sign, exit in 3 miles, telling you to prepare with all dispatch for this event.
The person on the mule, would have a great deal of time to think about his arrival in the same league that today calls for immediate preparation.
Perhaps self government and the initial success of the city states had to do with these type of distance issues.  The inability and lack of need to consider what lay beyond a league or two.  But how wealthy in knowledge would someone have who had the chance to travel outside of his own world with the time to consider what passed by him at the speed of 2500 years ago.  And would he come to the same conclusion as I do today, that how you travel and who you are with are the only things that matter, and not the destination and did travelers 2500 years ago wonder why they were not traveling better and with someone who was not there?
