Look at how often you can see amazement and delight on a child's face. For him, every day opens new miracles, and he does not get tired of rejoicing and admiring this. Becoming adults, people often lose the ability to be surprised and are afraid to show that they are interested in something in order to look sophisticated, those who can no longer be surprised. And in vain - the ability to be surprised helps a person in knowing the world around him.
One recognized ancient sage said: "The more I know, the more I understand that I know nothing." That is, an intelligent person realizes that life and the world around him are filled with an infinite number of amazing things that just need to be noticed. Only a person who has the experience of adult life and the soul of a child is able to make discoveries and solve the endless mysteries of the Universe.
Surprise is a feeling of anticipation of the unknown, awareness and desire to know it. This is a sign of your interest in life, the activity of your soul. People who have ceased to be surprised cause pity - they artificially deprive their soul and mind of development, slowing it down. Such people are closed to the world.
The ability to be surprised helps not only communication with the outside world, but also communication between people. A person who knows how to be surprised internally also admits that other people can surprise him, that is, he admits, thereby, that they can be different from him. At the same time, surprise is not a reason for denial and rejection, but the joy that you learn new, still unknown properties of other people, the peculiarities of their mentality.
A person who does not know how to be surprised can be called inert. He is limited in his ideas about the world and those around him. He, most likely, will express his rejection of everything new, which does not fit into the ideas that have developed in him, the inviolability of which he confirms by his inability to be surprised. A narrow view of things becomes the reason for the condemnation of everyone around and makes such a person incapable of productive cooperation and partnership with other people who can only irritate him, and not interest, by their differences from him.
The ability to be surprised is a sign of the youth of the soul. This is a character trait that helps a person adapt to the world around him, the environment, and society. This ability increases his sociability and greatly facilitates his existence.
