That seems to be some kind of existentialist remark. Existentialism embraces the idea that the world is experienced due to our perceptions of the it. As children, we lack depth perception, language, speech...many things that we take for granted that actually affect the way we see the world, remember things, and change the world. Then, as we grow up, we experience richer, fuller lives, because we can finally understand and put this world into some greater context. That's what I make of it, at least.
