Holiday Makers

PART THREE

For a humanization of everyday life

Let us imagine that the enormous sums of money spent every year on travelling for pleasure were used for the embellishment of our cities and landscapes, the improvement of our work places, the search for a harmonious life! Let us imagine that the charm and beauty of holidays could trickle into everyday life! Then all the problems of tiredness and the need for recuperation would be solved by what I propose to call the ‘solution of the heart’. No more holidays or – if you like – endless holidays. True life, genuine happiness....
