What do you want?

I've been thinking about all that tourism entails. To be honest, it seems that it is so often only a thing where the tourist extracts and consumes. It seems so self indulgent. I want to see the sights. I want to buy the things. I want to go to this place. I feel that this is so selfish and I fear that when this happens it becomes so easy for people to become commodities. People shouldn't be commodities. When people begin to look past the people, they miss the biggest part of the culture. I want to look into the people- not look past them.
