Faculty of Wonder

“The only thing we require to have to be good philosophers is the faculty of wonder.”
As human we have a tendency to get used to things. You wish people would consciously try to get enthralled by normal events. Those who grow up to take the world for granted bore me. It is amazing to know how to enjoy little things. Remember the first time you wrote with a sharp pen on the paper? Did you like how it felt? How the pen cut through the paper to make its mark? I still enjoy it…
Why do people find it so hard to keep the originality of things over time? Let your imagination free. Let is figure out how to keep things interesting for you.
A philosopher from Sicily believed that there are two different forces at work in nature: love and strife. Can’t it be a middle ground between these two forces? Can we not be neutral towards things?
Love is a bigger part of your life. You tend to avoid things that you don’t like and postpone thinking about it to sometimes in the near future. The funny thing is that it stays with you until you form an opinion about it.
“Why is Lego the most ingenious toy in the world? Why do people quit playing when they grow up?”
You see life as your playground. It is about having fun. Some, you enjoy more than others and some you want to keep to yourself! But it doesn’t work that way you have to tame them! You are not so good at that though. Some are very good at it but that is not one of your trades. Well actually you tame the wrong ones for some reason. Are “what you want” and “what you think you want” different?
Looking out the window of an airplane and seeing the clouds from the top is a beautiful scene. It is like looking at the ocean when it is windy. Clouds are just condensed vapor, aren’t they? So I guess they don’t only look the same they are the same.
Up here in the sky, this morning, your mind is occupied with only one thing. You really really wish that you could have it. :S
