“Nietzsche also proposed a second kind of tourism, whereby we may learn how our societies and identities have been formed by the past and so acquire a sense of continuity and belonging.
The person practising this kind of tourism ‘looks beyond his own individual transitory existence and feels himself to be the spirit of his house, his race, his city’.
He can gaze at old buildings and feel ‘the happiness of knowing that he is not wholly accidental and arbitrary but grown out of a past as its heir, flower, and fruit, and that his existence is thus excused and indeed justified'.”

“ 'Anything I learnt would have to be justified by private benefit rather than by the interest of others. My discoveries would have to enliven me; they would have in some way to prove ‘life-enhancing’.

Temizu és la cerimònica de purificació que fem en mans i boca a l'entrada de la majoria de santuaris i en alguns temples budistes per alliberar-nos de tota maldat i contaminació.
Els passos són: Agafem un cassó amb la mà dreta, l'omplim d'aigua i ens l'evoquem a la mà esquerra. Fem lo mateix però al revés. Tornem a omplir el cassó i ens emportem l'aigua a la boca. Per últim, omplint el cassó, el posem en forma vertical perquè caigui l'aigua pel mànec i el netegi i el tornem a deixar boca a baix.
