Charlie Chaplin and Albert Einstein, two of the most famous personalities of the world, one was understood by everyone and the other was understood by none and yet both were magical personalities. Once a friend told me, what we don't understand is magic and what we totally understand is also magic, as both of these put our sensors into active zone. In other words our brain and its army of sensors are active while witnessing magic.
Best teachers are those who either confuse or convince. Though these two activities are diagonally opposite to each other they still help in getting the same result and this probably happens due to human curiosity for knowing the unknown and conquering the known. Magic is important for us, without it we would not be at the top of the food chain and without it we would not be the human's aspiring to be the mighty gods. We are special as we are the only species who can make sense of the world we live in and we are the only ones who can differentiate between right/wrong and good/bad where there is none. Or so we perceive that we are the only ones. As they say "Reality collapses to existence only when observed", similarly magic of reality only happens with our perception. No perception, no reality and no magic.
We are fast moving into the realm of witnessing the magic every day, we are in a sense witnessing an Einstein and a Chaplin every day. It is the complex nature of our brain and the way it interacts with its army of sensors, if absent there would be no magic to perceive or to produce.
