“I think us here to wonder, myself. To wonder. To ask. And that in wondering 'bout the big things and asking 'bout the big things, you learn about the little ones, almost by accident. But you never know nothing more about the big things than you start out with. The more I wonder, the more I love.”
— 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.
