We think of a
butterfly as an insect. Just a typical insect that spreads its wings and flies
around in the air. They are very colorful and pretty. There are all different
types. But butterflies do more than just flying. I’m sure there are secret
things that butterflies do that we don’t know. Butterflies start out as little cocoons and grow and mature
into a beautiful colorful creature with abilities so that it can survive on its
own. Their harmless and better our environment. It can reproduce to make baby butterflies that start off small and become
adults.
Wonder
for me is curiosity about something or someone is a deeper meaning. Why this
works that way or why people think from a certain perspective. I don’t just
like to know about the surface of some things. Getting down to the core of that
knowledge helps me to fully understand a situation. When I was six years old, I
would have thought the bare minimum and thought wonder in the sense of walking
around and doing nothing or your mind thinking random things. At six years old,
my brain was not developed in a philosophical sense. I think we are less
capable of imagining and wondering as we age because we become satisfied with
what the truth has to offer; and not think to question to get a deeper meaning
behind it.
If
you think of a concept, it’s a statement made that is used a lot by people
constantly. A meaning that someone can live by. I think the quote said by St.
Gregory of Nyssa is saying that if you continue to live by the normal
declaration and believe it, then your just following what other people think.
You’re not thinking outside the box and asking more questions to find the solid
truth. For me, this is not exactly used in my life which is kind’ve bad. When
someone tells me something, I normally just take it and accept it. However,
there are a lot of times where I do wonder and question certain things mentally
but not verbally which is a weakness that I need to improve on, to enhance my curiosity about life.
