Question

What is the central idea of “A parable of sauntering?” Pls help

Answer 1

Hi,

"The leisurely and aimless walk" or "stroll" is known as saunter. It also means to "walk slowly".

Example- A boy walking from one room to the other.

Here, the idea that the author wants to share to us of the secret of “sauntering” with persons who “hike” through their life. The inner meaning tells people need to stop rushing through life and measuring life in terms of money and amusement.

People should also take their time along the way and measure life in terms of love, sincerity and beauty.
