I find this one to be interesting. We typically take such things as little more than obvious platitudes, but if you think about it from a psychology/neuroscience perspective, it's actually very interesting. Like, why can't the mind manifest such states as easily when it is older? What are the actual (as opposed to the "just so"[1] theories) underlying causes, and can they be circumvented?
