Understanding

What a beautiful feeling, to understand something, at least for one moment when you feel you’re amazingly smart, one moment when all worries disappear from your life and your life takes on the colors of a rainbow.
And then, it gets swallowed up by the day-to-day, it gets turned into a moment you quickly forget and even more quickly get used to. But that’s what your life is made up of. That’s what creates your ups and downs, and that’s something which is characteristic of you, something entirely natural.
You yearn for that understanding. You remain curious like a child all your life, even though many of you won’t want to admit to it, feeling you need to play the role everyone expects of you, the role of an adult. But there’s no such thing, at least not in “cosmic terms”.
Every understanding of yours is just a grain of sand on a large beach, a beach which is endless, and which grows larger with every new discovery you make with each of your expansions.
In that way, you leave yourself enough room and freedom to see that your growth doesn’t have any boundaries except those you impose on yourself.
So why then “grow up” in that inner sense? Why not allow yourself the freedom of wonder and curiosity all your life? Even if those around you look at you with bewilderment, why not allow yourself all that, why not be an example of you’re a free being, of what you truly are. If you understand that, you’re on your way to understanding, too, that you’re not expected to know all the answers regardless of what school you went to. Knowledge is inexhaustible, and that’s what should motivate you to go on.
So, the next time you find yourself facing something you don’t understand, be brave enough to tell the first person you find at your side: “I don’t understand what this is, what it’s about, how it works.” Regardless of what it is you are curious about, regardless of it being something you as an “adult” should know.
If you allow yourself that, you’ll see, for at least a moment, that most of the people around you don’t understand it either. Only, they’re inside boxes that are labeled “I’m supposed to know”.
Be the first to awaken those who are slumbering around you and force them to think about their lives. Force them to see that there are still many beautiful things around them. That way, you’ll force yourself to get moving too, to understand all the possibilities which have been given to you and accept them.
It’s easy to laugh at children and their answers; answering them is much harder.
Reawaken that slumbering child inside of you and go play. Your playground is large; you have the whole Planet and sufficient wonder upon it, starting from your nearest neighbor.
So, get moving and play.
