As the saying goes, "Curiosity kills the cat." Will maintaining curiosity definitely kill the cat? People's curiosity about new things is accompanied by growth from birth, guiding us to discover ourselves and explore the world.
Curiosity can help us learn to think. Pascal said: "Man is the reed of thinking." Indeed, being able to think is the nobleness of mankind, and curiosity is the prerequisite for thinking. "Who are we? Where do we come from, why are we born, and why are we living?" Whenever we think about these questions, we feel as if we are alone in the vast sea, swimming in the distant starry sky, exploring those deep thoughts in our hearts. Driven by curiosity, we learn to think and think about why we are curious about it.
Curiosity makes us happy to seek knowledge. Whenever we face new knowledge and still don’t know why after searching for a lot of information, will you choose to give up, or will you be more determined to overcome it? If you choose the latter, you will be curious about it. We are curious, what exactly is this? The longer it takes, the more interested we are, the more curious we are. When we overcome difficulties and acquire knowledge driven by curiosity, who will not feel endless joy?
Curiosity can help us continue to develop. The famous physicist Newton was curious about why the apple fell from a tree that he then studied the earth's gravity and published the famous law of universal gravity. Wright brothers finally invented the plane out of curiosity about birds being able to fly. If there is no curiosity, then these great people would not have discovered so many mysteries in nature, just like saplings in the corner of the wall. If they just live here blindly, they will not look forward to the scenery outside the wall, and they will not fantasize about one day facing the broad and new life of nature and always hiding in a dark corner, they will not have enough nutrients and will not be exposed to the sun. The lush and beautiful future generations will undoubtedly become a delusion. The same is true for our lives. I can’t imagine what a rigid life looks like. Maybe people who lack curiosity still live a life of slash-and-burn farming! In this way, curiosity is the source of human development. It inspires our desire to explore the truth and leads us to explore the path of nature, growth and development.
Will curiosity definitely kill the cat? The answer is no. In a person’s short life, the more he grows up, the more he is curious about the world. As his knowledge increases, the questions he wants to explore come one by one. It is curiosity that makes us so full of vitality and hope, so that we like exploration and thinking and realize the value of life. If we have more curiosity in life, our mind will have more knowledge, our mind will have more sunshine, and our love for life.
Curiosity doesn’t necessarily kill the cat!
