Curiosity!

A quote for someone I know.....
"
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has it's own reason for existing."
Albert Einstein

Thought of this person and realize his/her curiosity has reason. I have faith that this peaked curiosity will someday have meaning! We all know the wonders of the world works in mysterious ways. How amazing it would be to know just a small part of these inexplicable doings. But then imagine how our lives would be if we knew the answers to everything!I firmly believe curiosity will eventually somehow, someway be answered in a manner that can affirm some kind of truth. Most of us relate curiosity to killing the cat, well because I love this person and want the best outcome for thier family I see Curiosity enpowering the cat. My curiosity has been peaked. I ask myself what does the future beholds on behalf of this reason? Why must curiosity exist? How is this person's current experience going to affect themselves or other's? HOW? WHY? WHEN? WHERE? Time will only tell!

Don't you just wish we could always see the big picture, or know the outcomes- it would make our decisions, and enduring so much easier. But then I guess we wouldn't need curiosity, and it wouldn't be as much fun, like a movie you already know the ending to, it just loses a little of our interest. Sorry, random tangent.

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.” -
