How I became a child again

I asked my mom, “Why?”

She answered, “Because.”

I asked again, “Why?”

She repeated, “Because it is so.”

And once more I pressed, “But why must it be so?”

And that was how I began to discover the world.

Later, when I started school, asking questions became more difficult: we studied hard, took exams, and handed in assignments—but that did not stop me from wanting to understand things more deeply.

Over time, I gradually stopped asking questions. I sought and accepted clear, true answers, convinced that everything was knowable.
