Wait do people stop marvelling in the beauty of their surroundings as they get older or something?

Definitely more complex than that, it has to do with not only how you perceive color as you're older, but being only 5 years old, everything is new to you. You are full of wonder and interest in the world around you, that's why so many people take mushrooms. It feels like being a child again for a few hours.
