Why can a snail slide over a razor blade without being hurt?

I am awed by their curiosity every single day… its so pure and true, a real hunger for knowledge.
And looking at them I sometimes blush for shame because comparing to theirs, adult`s curiosity is often just vanity… whishing not to know, but to talk… or would you travel overseas to the end of the world just for the sole pleasure of seeing, if you knew you could not tell it to anyone?

yes i would.
it's worthwile to see everything with your own eyes, even if it's just for urself. like your two gorgeous kids are examining this snail, we humans want to know how things are. curiosity might be vanity for grown ups very often, but if you save some of this children's urge to know, to understand... you will always want to find out about everything everywhere.
but i agree with you, sharing that knowledge wth others... for the sheer pleasure ofmaking them look in awe at you, is a surplus in happiness. we should always look out for the surplus... ;-)

Thank you for those words. I think a child's curiosity can sometimes reignite our own. But your question is so intriguing. Adults rarely do anything completely out of there own curiosity.

I want to say one thing to you my friend, wow. wonderfully done. amazing. there are just no words to describe this set of photos. just wanted to say that the kids emotions are so true. just look at the kids faces, they love the nature and they feel great with you.

Lovely set !
So true, kids are so thirsty for discovery while adults get bored with life thinking that they know already everything ...when the world is infinite !
