With all that one has gained, whether it be knowledge or power, it makes an individual stronger. As C.P. Cavafy said in the poem “Ithaka”, “Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey. Without her you would have not set out… Wise as you will have become, so full of experience, you will have understood what these Ithakas mean” (Cavafy 32-37). It’s because of the journey that one was able to do all these different things that one can learn from, making a person tougher and more tenacious. If there was no trek before a destination, no one would meet new people, make stupid mistakes to reflect from and correct, and nothing to learn
