Wonder

Wonder is thinking about all the possibilities that something can do. Your imagination can go wild when wondering about something. In my experience, I would wonder about driving a car when I was young. The reason I would do that is because when I was six, I had a lot of toy cars. I have over one hundred cars and I used to play with them all. So if I had this assignment when I was six, I would go on and on about the fun times I had playing with my cars. I would race them; put them into those "Hot Wheels" courses and many other things. It would just be a medley of fun. However, since I'm older and I can know drive a car, I have lost my edge to play with all my cars. I also know that now that the cars aren’t real, as before when I was six I thought that my cars had somewhat of a mind since I named them all according to how they looked. According to St. Gregory of Nyssa, I do believe concepts create idols. It gives everybody something to believe along their imagination that only wonder can create. I have experienced this with the cars because the concepts of my cars got me interested in cars as general.
