from "Life of Pi"

Why do people move? What makes them uproot and leave everything they've known for a great
unknown beyond the horizon? Why climb this Mount Everest of formalities that makes you feel
like a beggar? Why enter this jungle of foreignness where everything is new, strange and difficult?


The answer is the same the world over: people move in the hope of a better life.

People move because of the wear and tear of anxiety. Because of the gnawing feeling that no matter
how hard they work their efforts will yield nothing, that what they build up in one year will be torn
down in one day by others. Because of the impression that the future is blocked up, that they might
do all right but not their children Because of the feeling that nothing will change, that happiness
and prosperity are possible only somewhere else.
