As I read this article I lament that the childlike naïveté angle is the dominant one used to distill the spirit of creation in most written literature. There are other, more profound and perhaps more interesting ones, but the people who are deep into it and can speak credibly about it do not generally write on it. And to those that do, it does not appeal to package it a way that professes enlightenment of a theory of creation.

There’s an old concept, I can’t remember where it’s stems from, but it’s essentially:

A fulfilling life is the life of someone who voluntarily regains what it was that they lost in childhood, with the experience and insight that comes with time.

Easier said than done of course
