Wonder: Blog post 6

To me wonder is the ability of thinking and looking at something in an amusing way because when I look at something and I like it, I am amused and I want to know more about it. For example if I am six years old and I look at a memorial like the Martin Luther King Memorial in D.C, I would wonder about the meaning of it and its possibilities. Since I'm six years old I might not understand what the monument stood for and I might just think it was just a cool looking statue. So, in other words since I would be younger my imagination would be more wider because I have not learned  things yet. And when we get older, our imagination and wonder becomes less because we are more acquitted with reality. I believe "Concepts create idols, only wonder knows" means that people cant create imagery, and that you have to wonder to actually know. I think this is true because people that try to fake imagining things won't have the ability to wonder.
