The purpose of this Post is to achieve motivation to walk, using a different mechanism than the others I have recommended in previous Posts. They are representations of how one can imagine the walk of a “value or virtue” – of those cultural powers – that we have created over the centuries. That is, how we can associate the meaning that this “word” or concept has for us, to the practice of walking.
Personally, I have chosen some “values and virtues” -always of the positive kind- and I have represented what they mean to me, associating them with Walking.
I have not used anything that is openly negative, such as, for example, sadness, punishment, etc., only those that mean something positive in their essence, according to the culture and our personal experience. And even then, not all of them turn out to be completely positive, as some of them suffer from certain negative characteristics.
Each person, by way of becoming aware of what these words mean, can define the path of these or other values.
