You sit in a café, scrolling through images of a trip you never took. They are flawless. Yet you feel nothing. Meanwhile, somewhere, a traveler misses a train, gets lost, endures rain, and then, in a sudden clearing, sees a view that brings tears. That gap — the discomfort, the delay, the accident — is what makes the moment sacred. AI can generate the view but not the clearing. It gives you the destination without the journey. And without the journey, the destination is just a picture on a screen. You remain hungry.
