No, I’ve never been to Barcelona. Pre-Covid, pre-climate crisis awareness with cheap airfare available, it was a really nice and accessible destination for a weekend trip. I believe most people I know have been there – maybe even twice. And many probably take it for granted that I’ve been there too.
I think it’s quite a common thing to assume that other people have made the same experiences or come to the same conclusions as we have, when in fact their view of the world is a lot different than ours.
In that way, insights and realisations aren’t that unlike destinations. For some it takes a bit longer getting there.
Or we’ll have to meet them where they are.
