Wonder is all the possibilities that the purpose
of an object can have. I chose a pencil. A pencil is used for writing. But it
can be used for so many other things like, I can take two of them and use them
as chopsticks. I can use a bunch of them and play a game of pick-up sticks. If
I was 6 when I did this assignment, I’m pretty sure I would have much more creative
outcomes for the pencil rather than practical.
As
we get older, we take everything much more seriously because unlike when we
were young we now know more about life. Since we know more about reality and
care more about the here and now, we’re less likely to imagine in it otherwise.
When we’re young, it doesn’t really matter the true purpose of an object not
because we didn’t care but we didn’t really need to know. It’s just like that,
we’re much more ignorant to life when we’re younger.
“Concepts
creates idols, only wonder knows” means that practicality and knowledge makes a
person smarter but having curiosity allows us to really know. Like, are we
learning in class because we want to satisfy our need for knowledge because we
want to get a good grade in the end or because we truly want to know more about
the subject.
