CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT
Thank you. Exactly what I wanted you to write. Now I know we have a strong connection.
It’s a good old phrase my mother used to say to me when she caught me looking at presents under our Christmas tree. I was probably about 5 years old when that phrase entered my ears and stayed with me. Honestly, I didn’t even know what the word meant!
By our nature people are very curious, always wanting to know the hows and the whys about everything. That certainly described me to a tee! I couldn’t just accept something without knowing how it worked. My grandad wasn’t too happy with me the day I took the back off his pocket watch to see how it worked. Needless to say, I broke it.
Without curiosity and the curious nature mankind would not have progressed as it has. It is from curiosity that great things come. The greatest inventions, the innovations and the science that generates progress.
But curiosity can be a burden and can lead to troubles if not curtailed.
It was through a series of assumptions and curious events that mankind discovered there were alternative life cycles after their one on earth. They believed that spirits lived in the clouds, the trees and the rocks. Only because their curiosity misled them to believe it so. So much is known about our two worlds. Most discovered through curiosity, experimentation followed by evidence to support it. But some humans twisted the facts to suit their desires, making their own set of rules and suggestions. That stems from misguided curiosity, which is, seeking unknown things to fit a particular mould or notion.
Facts are facts and your science bears out the facts. Curiosity stems from questioning those facts as if seeking a more suitable solution. The problem [comes in] understanding when curiosity is being misguided and unnecessary.
In my world we live perfectly normal lives. But even in that statement many will question the words “perfectly normal” as if doubting the truth. There are many humans residing on earth desperate to disprove our existence. Others that think there must be more to it. Then they waste time curiously looking for evidence to dispute the claims. Their curiosity is misguided.
My grandad’s watch worked perfectly well until I removed back of it. I may have only been nine, but my curiosity ended the life of that watch.
Curiosity is a wonderful tool to use. It will bring answers and reveal the unknown. It’s a beautiful thing to see in action. But, in the wrong hands, curiosity damages the status quo. It opens up unknown territories. How many people believe in the devil? Evil? Why? There is no need to explore such dark regions when so much is waiting to be discovered in the here and now. Why seek out stuff that brings no pleasure and certainly no gain.
I am still a curious person and enjoy nosing into things I don’t yet understand. But I know where and when to stop, for the good of self. Take my words now that this medium is penning. Should we be more curious as to how this is happening? Or should we accept that there is a connection between the medium’s mind and what he calls the spirit world? By the way, that’s not how we see ourselves!
Is your curiosity so strong that you allow doubts to rationalise and destroy your deeper beliefs? Should you not, instead, accept that our two existences are real and accept it without question? As I said, I believe in using the power of my curiosity, even in my world now. But I have learned that misuse of my curiosity brings me no benefits and instead redresses my growth.
There you have it! My chat about a simple word that has opposing consequences. Is your curiosity acting as a driving force, or a burden you carry? Accepting what is plain to see from your eyes is better, don’t you think? My time has come to an end with this medium.
I hope you’ve enjoyed my thought-provoking discussion with you. Be curious, while being careful.
Thank you and goodbye.
