"What is man?" is a question you must have an answer to.
"Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger." (Ps 8:2)
Whenever God makes someone or something lower in stature (like a baby when compared to a man), He always ordain strength in that person or thing, for to still His enemy and the avenger against His children. Only if the weak will say they are strong in the LORD!
Someone at some point was considering and marveling at the wonders of all the creation of God, and started off like this: [Psalm 8:1-9]
"O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens...When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;..."
He is saying that every single time he considers to KNOW, he comes across a puzzle. And after every detailed observations and careful consideration, there is this "Puzzling Man" he couldn't understand or figure out what He is doing right in the very middle of everything (!?*#). And in order to put the pieces all together, he had to ask God about this Man He had made lower than the powerful angelic beings.
"WHAT IS MAN, that thou art mindful of him? and THE SON OF MAN, that thou visitest him?"
He further observed that God had crowned This Man with His GLORY and HONOUR, giving the man DOMINION over all of the Creation of God, putting All things under This Man's feet! Every Adam is/was made this way, except that The last Adam, that is, Christ Jesus, surpasses the first Adam (a living soul) in everything, being a quickening Spirit. WHOSOEVER IS OF CHRIST IS ALSO A PUZZLE AND A PUZZLER.
