From My Philosophy Book

Shouldn't the universe, life, and, especially, consciousness cause a sense of deep wonder within? Do we take this mystery for granted simply because we are used to it? Should we not sit like little children before the wonder of the universe and ask fundamental questions?

- Louis Pojman, Philosophy: The Pursuit of Wisdom


I love that imagery, sitting like children and wondering. It is a position of humility, forgetting our adult-ness, back to eagerly asking questions simply for the sake of it. Not for good grades, not for a degree, just wanting to know. Child-like, just as CS Lewis says.
