Hi Everyone!
According to Oscar Wilde, “The public have an insatiable curiosity to know everything, except what is worth knowing". Do you agree?
I must admit that our life without curiosity would not be intriguing. It is worth pointing out that I have not noxious nosiness in mind. I know many people who have a lot of free time and, obviously, they are unable to put it to good use. As a result, they are bored to tears and in order to pass the time they like peeking from behind not only the door but also the window.

Do you know how one may arouse intense interest in something which is unknown? In my point of view, curiosity is, in other words, inquisitiveness and, above all, courage. Haruki Murakami in "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle", one of my favorite books, writes:
“Curiosity can bring guts out of hiding at times, maybe even get
them going. But curiosity usually evaporates. Gust have to go for the
long haul. Curiosity's like a fun friend you can't really trust. It
turns you on and then it leaves you to make it on your own - with
whatever guts you can muster”.
I think that when we lose our natural curiosity for exploring the world and learning we divest ourselves of a crucial element.
