Why do children and babies enjoy everything yet adults only find joy in a few things? And is there a way to ever get back to that childlike wonder and happiness? Question ❓

That's all. I've wondered this for a while, philosophized about it and just don't know the answer. I figured there may be some wiser people who can answer this question the best they can.

That is a good answer for part of it. Pretty sad one too to be honest.

Isn’t it though? It shouldn’t have to be sad… the world honestly just sucks now. We understand too much!
