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

In my opinion I don’t completely agree or disagree about what the statement “It seems as if in the process of growing up we lose the ability to wonder about the world” Albert Knox said. I agree with what Albert Knox has said, that as people grow we lose the ability to wonder because as people grow up, we have our own different experiences in each stage and we learn a lot of different things, so we would not need to question about what the world was made from or why there is a world. People did not really lose the ability to wonder because the communication in the world is fast and easily reachable such as the world news; we won’t need to think about the world. When we were young there would always be a time when we would ask how humans were created or how the world was created, this is because we were curious back then and we wouldn’t have the knowledge to know what the answer was, but as we grow we gain more knowledge and most of the questions we’ve asked before would have an answer, but not always. People are getting used to their routines everyday and wouldn’t think or have time to think about what is around them because they wouldn’t even notice.

I also disagree with what Albert Knox said because there will not be a time when we actually know everything about the world. Even if we get old there would still be a lot of things that hasn’t been discovered in the world nor have an answer to. Do we really know how the earth was created? How people were created? Many people would say that God created us humans but do we actually know who created God in the first place? I don’t think that everyone doesn’t have a question that they want to ask because there would always be something that people would be curious about.
Some people’s living standards are too good, children’s parents have already created their children’s path, their future of what they want their children to be or go to. This won’t benefit the children because they won’t have confidence to explore new things, they won’t have the courage to go try out new things because they have to do what their parents had told them according to what they planned. People are taking everything for granted, always wanting new things but they won’t actually think of how other people lives are like living in poorer countries.

As we grow up there would be some point we would always question ourselves but as we gain more knowledge we would wonder less but we wouldn’t actually lose our ability to wonder about the world.
