A Hitchhikers' Manifesto
We believe...
That the human condition allows more possibilities than degrees and offices. Our present society considers people only as specialized tools, efficiency and production being the top values. In sight of this reduction of human dimension, our aim is to rediscover knowledge and experience as more human values, and travelling as an ideal way to achieve them...
That a society of individuals trained to be self-sufficient and not to ask the time of anybody is a greenhouse for neurotics and future consumers of alarms and stress pills. By hitchhiking, we re-establish the human contact, that shameful fire.
That being responsible means understanding that we only live once, and that a good pension scheme doesn't justify living our youth as elder people. Being responsible does not only mean taking responsibilities, but also administrating with the same fondness our liberty, without attaching ourselves to things foreign to our essence.
That no one is old, as long as he/she doesn’t assume his/her age. It's never too late for anything. Old is he who does things expected from an old man, just because others expect such from him.
That the world is not a static place, but a knot of ways by which millions of people walk daily, crossing borders, fording rivers and climbing mountains.
That our world is still a good place to live, that the people who transit it share something much more essential than their differences, that people are inherently good.
That nobody is in danger for being far from home. We believe that cities are definitely more dangerous than the roads, mounts and lakes. We believe that the universe takes care of us and that working 12 hours a day is more dangerous than hitching a ride.
That money is an optional part of our equipment, due to nobody eating money. Not only are things done in exchange of money. That would be transporting arbitrarily commercial relations to human relations. A smile or a word in its place can be worth millions.
That all travellers can learn from each other; that there's always someone going for the first time to that place that we know by heart...
That the wind that blows in your face in the back of a pick up can put you higher than any drug.
That simplicity is something to be vindicated, and it's closer to a home baked bread at the side of the road than to a mortgage credit or fortnight holidays paid in two years...
That the goal is an excuse to let us whirl by randomly and expose ourselves to the unexpected stops, the hidden towns, the millions of possibilities, transforming each dot on the map into a tale...
That when a car stops the cards are given again, since that moment changes our trip and thus our life. We believe that "the road is the life" (Jack Kerouac 1922-1967)
That hitchhiking is a beautiful way of learning from the lands we pass through, its people and costumes. Saving money is not the aim of hitchhiking, but its lateral benefit.
That a road map contains more adrenaline than Big Brother, that happiness will not come with an inheritance or business that by saving us will open the door to a DVD set.
That permanent happiness is one of the hidden ways in which death acts.
— Julio Cortazar, Argentinean novelist 1914-1984
That the wanderer is doomed to the paradox: completing a lap to an infinite circuit.
