"It seems as if in the process of growing up we lose the ability to wonder about the world"

After reading this quote from the book, it brought up a lot of different thoughts into my mind, some new thoughts and some old thoughts. In a way, I do agree with the quote. As we grow older, we know more about the reality of the world, we know why things are happening and we won't think things like, "is it because of some superman helped us" and etc. When we were young, we were curious about almost everything. Whenever we see something new, we will question about it. We will wonder why is things being like this, we will always have "why" questions. Some of the questions cannot be answered, but some of them we will know as we grow up. Sometimes I would like to return to when we are kids, facing new challenges everyday, discovering new things and wonder about anything. As we grow older, there are hardly times for us to wonder about other things. We have so much to care about and so much to do that we have less time to wonder. However it doesn't mean we wonder less, it is just saying how much less time with have for us to wonder about things happening in the world. Therefore I don't totally agree with the quote.

Yes, we do wonder less about what "children" wonders as we grow older, but however there are also other things that will make us wonder about when we grow up. Some people might still be wondering "who created God?" and some questions that it's really hard to be answered. We also have less time for us to wonder when we grow older. Therefore the quote it's not totally true about "wondering" in life. As lifetime grows, our mind changes, and there will be new things for us to wonder, so it doesn't mean we wonder less.

In conclusion, I agree and disagree with the quote, "It seems as if in the process of growing up we lose the ability to wonder about the world" by Albert Knox. Agreeing that we wonder less when we grow up just because we know more about the reality of the world and less time for us to think. I disagree with the point that it says "we will lose the ability to wonder about the world" because we still wonder, it's just about different things to wonder about compare to when we are younger. If we don't wonder when we are older, there will be no new creations coming to the world and things will be the same for a long time, so this quote in my opinion it's not totally right about "wondering."
