"ما أشد التباين المحزن بين الذكاء المشع للطفل والعقلية الضعيفة للبالغ العادي."

Simplified Meaning:

When we look at children, they often seem so bright, creative, and full of curiosity. They ask lots of questions, explore everything, and have vivid imaginations. In contrast, many adults might seem less interested in new ideas and more focused on routine or everyday tasks, having lost some of that spark over time. For example, a child might see a rainbow and wonder how it appears, leading them to learn about light and weather. An adult might just see it as something normal and forget to be curious. This difference happens because as people grow up, they face responsibilities and problems that can make them more serious or less open to new experiences. However, if adults tried to keep some of that childlike curiosity and enthusiasm, they might find more joy and creativity in their lives. They can do this by asking questions, learning new things, and staying open to wonder, just like a child does.
