In so many different ways, it seems that curious people constantly suffocate us. Curiosity is not something we like to deal with simply because it feels as though our comfort and privacy are violated. However, if we look at it differently, curiosity is not bad. It is the birthplace of human civilization and development. If we do not ask, we will never know, and if we never know, nothing will really change - and that's the problem! Sometimes, all we need is just asking ourselves some questions, reaching closure with ourselves, trying to figure out what we are doing, and organizing our thoughts in order to be fair with our own selves. How? We simply need to look into ourselves, deeper than our skin, and wonder about every single thing we have done in this specific day, and then repeat everyday..
This way, we are evaluating ourselves by asking questions. "Was I fair?" "Was I offensive?" "Did I need to say/do that?" "Did I do a great job?" "Did I really deserve that?" "Is there anything I need to do? "Is there anything I need to change?" "Is there anyone I need to apologize to?" etc.
And when we evaluate ourselves by doing this everyday, we figure out the answers, and when we figure out the right answers, we avoid complications - we avoid unanswered questions being wondered by others that we might have wronged.
Moving on from the 'curious monologue,' we also need a dialogue initiated with curiosity. We can have people who we know love us dearly, but those people can also be on the very far opposite end. How? By not being curious, they prevent us from not only knowing but feeling the love that they have for us. Them being curious about how we have spent our day, what we did/did not do, how we feel etc.. can clearly exhibit their stable interest in our lives that we are living with closed eyes and only realizing what we have done and felt when they come and nicely ask about us. This simple curiosity can mean happiness.
