I could not today start out with any zest to see the most
marvelous sight in the world unless I were taking with me
someone to whom I knew the journey would be a joy. It
may be a drawback which comes with age-you do not
crave any new sensations and experiences as much as you
did in youth-but it is one of its compensations that you
are so much better able to enjoy through other people,
You can even sit at home and be happy visualizing others
that you love enjoying things which you have prepared
them to see and to understand
"What I Hope to Leave Behind,"
Eleanor Roosevelt
Select the central idea of the passage
Other people's happiness is important to your own
happiness
People stop enjoying travel when they get older.
Sitting at home is fine because you have already
seen and done everything.
Visualizing the sights you have already seen is just
as good as seeing them again.
