Be Curious

Curiosity leaves us in wonder.

There is a question as to what the value of curiosity is if there is any. Yes, curiosity helps us search for more information about what interests us and that we do not yet know about. It drives us to gather more knowledge and expand our understanding, and over time the more we realize, the smarter we can be.

If we are suddenly not curious anymore, it means we are somehow satisfied with what we already know or simply disinterested in what more there is to know. Even though it may be for legitimate reasons, it doesn’t necessarily provide a way for you to become smarter, just more adept at what is already known.

Wisdom comes from curiosity, and the benefit of wisdom is why it’s valuable to gather information and make the connections needed to discover new insights.

For a while, I had an acute interest in analyzing information. I thought that I could somehow use my mind to discover valuable theories that would ease the pain and suffering of many people who continually questioned the state of things and couldn’t accept the way the world seemed.

I set out to gather that information and synthesize new information from it by forming unlikely connections via my creative mind. I didn’t do it fully consciously. Most of the workshop was contained in my subconscious where my second kind produced results. But at certain times, I would be presented with enormously significant insights that would…
