Zitat des Tages über Etw. als gegeben annehmen / Take For Granted:

The Sixties are most generously described as a time when people took part - when they stepped out of themselves and acted in public, as people who didn't know what would happen next, but who were sure that acts of true risk and fear would produce something different from what they had been raised to take for granted.

End-of-the-world stories tend to ring true. I've always been drawn to them, but as I wrote my own, I found surprising pleasure in creating a world that is so radically changed, yet where there's so much meaning and value in every small and ordinary thing we have, and take for granted: hot showers, enough food, friends, routines.

Karen Thompson Walker

If you just casually look at a baby, it doesn't look like there's very much going on there, but they know more and learn more than we would ever have thought.
