Some claim curiosity kills the cat, but perhaps it actually helps to understand surroundings, broaden territory, procure food, and increase survival. Curiosity helps everyone learn, go beyond artificial limits of tradition, and understand the world, nature, and other people.
Curiosity also guides us toward better communication. When we have a genuine curiosity about each other, we can share our joys and sorrows, help create solutions to problems, and feel a real connection to each other. We discover our commonalities and differences. We make a friend.
We also need to be curious about ourselves, why we think and behave the way we do, why we limit ourselves and wish to limit others. Sometimes learning is forced upon us at school and on the job. Other times, our curiosity can lead us to discovery and understanding.
