What is more positive? pilgrimage or vacation?
for connotation purposes btw

I would choose pilgrimage because not only am I fulfilling Gods commands, I'm creating a credit in the hereafter.

If I got to Hawaii or like some random vacation, I'm only doing it for myself. Not for my soul, my physical health, my mental health or my spiritual health.

It just looks like a waste of time compared to pilgrimage. Of course, vacations are fun and all. But if you put pilgrimage and  vacation on a scale, pilgrimage should way more in your priorities.

Always put God first because satan will never care as much as Him.

hope this answer you: )!
