Summary

This quote suggests that at Christmas, it is beneficial to embrace the innocence and wonder of being childlike. By reflecting on the notion that during Christmas, the religious figure of Jesus, who is believed to be the incarnation of the Great Creator, was once a child himself, it emphasizes the importance of embracing a childlike perspective. Doing so allows for a deeper appreciation of the joy, magic, and awe-inspiring aspects that Christmas can bring, reminding us to approach the holiday season with a sense of curiosity and pure delight.

Consider the cattle, grazing as they pass you by. They do no

Consider the cattle, grazing as they pass you by. They do not know what is meant by yesterday or today, they leap about, eat, rest, digest, leap about again, and so from morn till night and from day to day, fettered to the moment and its pleasure or displeasure, and thus neither melancholy nor bored. [...] A human being may well ask an animal: 'Why do you not speak to me of your happiness but only stand and gaze at me?' The animal would like to answer, and say, 'The reason is I always forget what I was going to say' - but then he forgot this answer too, and stayed silent.
