So I kind of like how author G. K. Chesterton said it, a British writer of the twentieth century. He talked of how we become “weary of wonders”—like, how if we were to see the sun for the first time, we would think it’s the most incredible thing ever. But because we see it every day, because we’ve seen it hundreds and thousands of times, we don’t even look out the window for it in the morning. We don’t think anything about it. The sun’s up again? Big deal.
