A Sense of Wonder

Orion Nebula (from here)

This universe we live in - it makes you wonder. I suppose wonder is at the heart of it. Wonder pushes us forward. We have an inbuilt need to know. I suppose that is one of my major antipathies towards religion. The way all the religions chop off whole areas of life, the universe and everything and puts responsibility for them down to this mystical creation.

It seems like an abdication from thought, from life even. A weakness, a lack of courage, an inability to take that one step further that will set them free. It becomes a sort of self-imposed blindness.
