Curiosity Killed the Cat


Today I was reminded of the continuous need to remain curious in life. I don't know who coined the term "curiosity killed the cat" but they have a lot to be responsible for. It would appear that in a constantly changing world like we live in that belief in some form of fatalistic determinism that leaves us devoid of choice and play would make sense. At the same time it is worth considering great people of the past like William James, a father of American psychology. He was tormented and led to a deep crisis because of the influences of people like Darwin who left choice as a concept of the past. James entered a life full of depression until this paradigm was challenged and he chose to believe that we as human beings have choice in our day to day actions. This discovery healed him of the depressive ailment and led him into many focused years of experimentation and deliberation on our active role in our own lives and in society as a whole.

Today I have to acknowledge that the choice to be curious and belief that we have a co-creative role in our small but influential worlds is significant. If we choose to remain curious we can look for the positive intent in those who would suggest we seek our own gain or our pressure our own way. To look at others with an angle of believing there is something more beautiful yet to discover can lead us into a more exciting and beautiful experience. At the end of the day, we only have one life to live so we may as well live it as best we know and enrichen the lives of those we interact with...
