Wondering what I wonder? I got you.
We spend 22 yrs of our lives daydreaming!
Theodor Geisel was right: thinking and wondering are the best things in the whole world.
I wonder why I can't just stop thinking about how much I love peanut butter. And then I wonder if there is a way to get more peanut butter without having to eat it, because that would make me very happy indeed.
I also wonder what would happen if you put one of those tiny candies from an after-dinner mint inside a jelly bean and then eat it, but then instead of swallowing it, you just let it sit in your throat for about five minutes until it melts and then start coughing really hard to try and get rid of it—would anything come out? Or would you just be choking on candy forever? And then I start wondering if there's someone out there who has tried this experiment so they could tell me what happened.
I wonder what it's like to be an eagle. I wonder how many people have ever thought of that. I think it's interesting to consider the fact that we're all made of the same stuff—a star exploded and that's us. So why do we look so different? Why are we who we are?
And then I wonder how many of those people have ever wondered about the same things I do: like why we are here, what it all means, and if there’s a meaning behind life at all—and if so, what that meaning might be.
