“Wisdom begins in wonder.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2014Socrates<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"nasa-3\"<\/p>\n

Wisdom in every aspect, knowledge inclusive, indeed begins in wonder. It is wonder that makes us homo sapien sapiens<\/em> (to be technical), and not another type of species. Because without a sense of wonder, of curiosity, and of imagination, we would not be where we are. We are creatures of inquiry. We look, touch, see, smell, listen, and then \u00a0t h i n k\u00a0<\/em> about all those things.<\/p>\n

And after we think and question, we \u00a0f e e l\u00a0<\/em>. Even the most practical-minded cannot deny that he or she is guided by emotions. It is yet another characteristic that sets us apart from others; humans think with their heart, not with their mind. A downfall, perhaps, to be swayed by how we feel. But nonetheless, human nature. ‘Tis a beautiful thing, feeling<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I have been asked why and how I love philosophy and the likes. Why I immerse myself in it, I cannot put a finger on it. But I am rather interested in how<\/em> different groups of people think <\/em>and attempt to gather at why<\/em> they do think a certain way. In learning how<\/em> and why<\/em> they think so, it allows for an open mind<\/strong> to develop.<\/p>\n

And just how did I stumble upon this wide world of philosophy? I do believe that it began with the aftermath of September 11th; somehow reading an op ed on the injustices of racial profiling made something within me tick. I was then absorbed in various books about about politics, about the other side of America that is tended to be ignored. I guess it was then when browsing for books in that section of the library, I came across Civil Disobedience<\/em>. Which, consequently led me to Walden<\/em>, and a series of similar books – Plato, the Native American philosophies (simply beautiful and so, well, simple), etc. It is amazing how a difference in geography can cause such split in beliefs and culture to develop. Absolutely amazing.<\/p>\n

Simply look into the night sky; stare at the endless blackness, the sparkles of little diamonds we call stares. And allow your mind to wander. I find myself doing that often; I cannot deny it. I’m a \u00a0d r e a m e r .<\/p>\n

Bisous,<\/p>\n
