Jesus said, “Let the children come to me and do not stop them, because the Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” – Matthew 19:14, GNT
Don’t lose your child-like wonder. Don’t say in your heart that you have already seen and experienced everything and there is nothing new in the world anymore. There is always something new in a sunrise and in the dewdrop. There is always something new in each moment that you breathe. Go ahead and find yourself a flower in your garden or dance as the rain is pouring down upon you. Miracles happen everyday, but it takes the eyes of a child to see every beautiful thing God has made.
“So now you must choose… Are you a child who has not yet become world-weary? Or are you a philosopher who will vow never to become so? To children, the world and everything in it is new, something that gives rise to astonishment. It is not like that for adults. Most adults accept the world as a matter of course. This is precisely where philosophers are a notable exception. A philosopher never gets quite used to the world. To him or her, the world continues to seem a bit unreasonable – bewildering, even enigmatic. Philosophers and small children thus have an important faculty in common. The only thing we require to be good philosophers is the faculty of wonder…” – Jostein Gaarder, Sophie’s World
