Only the curious have something to find. Nickel Creek
A lack of curiosity is a shame. It leads to a life lived one dimensional, void of color, unfulfilled.
Growing up I was always told, "Curiosity killed the cat." Basically I took that to mean, as did anyone else I know as well as I think the messenger of the phrase, that being curious was bad and would only lead to bad things (i.e. death - being curious KILLED a cat for heaven's sake!) and so squelch your curious nature, your inquisitiveness, your thirst to discover new things, and just play it safe. Conform to the freaking box someone was trying to shove you in. Huh. I feel a lot more strongly about this than I realized. Until just now.
There's so much out there. There's colors that exist that Crayola hasn't thought of. There's books to be read that could be your most favorite ever if you give them a chance. There's puzzles (i.e. LIFE) to solve and a sense of accomplishment to wear proudly. There are styles of clothing that would help your inner shine show off a bit. There's music that you will love if only you will listen to it. There's amazing food for your taste buds to love if you would just put aside what anyone else has ever said about the food.
You see what I'm saying? I don't really need to go on do I?
Lack of curiosity leads to nowhere, the curious soul has a whole world open to them.
