"私たちはここにいることを不思議に思っているのだと思います。不思議に思うこと。尋ねること。そして大きなことについて考え、不思議に思い、尋ねることによって、ほとんど偶然に小さなことについて学びます。しかし、大きなことについて最初に知っている以上のことは決してわかりません。私が不思議に思えば思うほど、私はもっと愛するようになります。"
— Alice Walker
Simplified Meaning:
This quote is saying that our purpose in life might be to constantly ask questions and be curious. When we think about big, complicated ideas, like the meaning of life or what love really is, we often end up learning more about smaller things in our everyday lives without even trying. For example, when you think about what makes someone truly happy, you might notice that small acts of kindness, like smiling at a stranger or helping a friend, make a big difference. However, the big questions themselves remain just as mysterious as when you first started thinking about them. The act of wondering and being curious also makes us feel more connected to the world and brings us love and appreciation for life and those around us. So, asking questions and always being curious can make life richer and more loving, even if we don’t find all the answers.
