Rediscovery of Awe

I think everyone to some extent needs to be in awe of something. It keeps us humble, centered and grounded, so that we have some sense of boundaries in life. The sense of awe that I referring to is a positive one, not one which would cause us harm.

Children are indeed inundated with so much technology now, until we have allowed them to become in a way in awe of objects and concepts. (pg 150) Naturally the high tech industry would be very appealing to Young people, it was designed to be that way, if i twas not no one, not even adults would be interested. I think that we as the adults (parents) need to do a better job of regulating the exposure and or use of technology. The High tech business is very useful, we just need to decide what things we will and Will not let our children use and how they use it. I think children still need the experiences of intellectual stimulation in their lives, because these are necessary components of human development in this world ; in order to be a well rounded individual. Technology can be integrated into this developmental process, but it should not take over and be in lieu of the basic skills.

I have found that people who have no faith tend to not fair well when they are faced with problems, dilemmas, issues, dilemmas, or in some cases basic decision making. If there is no sense of inner peace, the rest of your life is generally out of place for most people. They don’t have anything to hold on to when they are in need. Money and objects usually do not provide long term (life long ) solace. Most people without faith are always usually searching for something, wondering what is missing, never having a sense of long term contentment. Faith can give you what you need to keep you centered and have long term peace in your life.
