Answer 2

Answer:  

wonders are illusions

Explanation:

A child in his first years of life when he barely knows the world, is surprised by any event that his mind cannot explain, so that he creates an illusion based on his knowledge and feels like a wonder, with the passage of time they are acquiring knowledge and they are realizing how the world really works, so when we grow up we stop believing things we thought of as children because the reasoning dominates more than the imagination
