Why Cats Should Fear Curiosity
If you’re going to meet your feelings, the best feeling to meet first would be the one that can introduce you to the rest. It’s like when you go to a party. If you want to get to know everyone at the party, you should hang with the social butterfly, perhaps the host, and not the wallflower who was dragged there and spends the whole night checking his phone. At a party of your feelings, the one feeling that will introduce you to everyone is Curiosity. Centuries ago, Curiosity was a shameful feeling, but now it’s everyone’s best friend. It’s said to be the engine of personal growth. When we’re curious, we seek out new experiences, learn new things, and challenge ourselves; leading to greater creativity, better problem-solving, and a broader perspective on the world. Curiosity keeps us engaged and motivated. When we’re curious about something, we put in the effort, leading to a sense of meaning and fulfillment. Curiosity also improves relationships. When we seek to understand others, we can build stronger connections and have empathy for those around us. Nonetheless, you can recognize Curiosity by the blood on its hands, for it’s just come from killing the cat. I asked it, what do you have against cats? But Curiosity has no answers, only questions. If I want answers, I must turn to its companion, Knowledge. Curiosity and Knowledge are like a pair of explorers. Curiosity is a scout, always wanting to find out what’s over that next ridge. Knowledge is a mapmaker who follows close behind, trying to make sense of everything Curiosity finds, how one thing is related to everything else.
