I do understand people when they say that you destroy the magic of childhood if you encourage too much skeptical questioning.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Magic speaks to the child in all of us. No matter how sophisticated we become, there's still a part of us who wants to believe in an alternative reality, where we can defy the laws of nature.
I believe that misconceptions about oneself that one does not correct where possible act as a bad magic.
The state of childhood resonates with life inside a fantasy novel. If you have no control over how you spend large chunks of your day, or are at the mercy of flawed giant beings, then the desire to bend the laws of the world by magic is strong and deep.
I encourage active skepticism - when people are being skeptical because they're trying to identify the best course of action. They're trying to identify the next step for themselves or other people.
Recently, I've really responded to books that bring the magic of childhood back to us as adults.
I've always performed magic as a kid.
Spiritual growth and spirituality always seem suspect to some people.
Skepticism, like chastity, should not be relinquished too readily.
As a person, I do ascribe to a lot of magical thinking myself.
Never ever doubt in magic. The purest honest thoughts come from children, ask any child if they believe in magic and they will tell you the truth.
