“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.” -Albert Einstein
I was just thinking today about how I used to be so curious about the human mind. It was a huge driver for me. But I did reach a point where I felt like my curiosity was satiated. Not that I finally knew all the answers, but that I reached a full set of satisfying answers. When I felt like I finished, I got this aching feeling of loss, like when you finish a good book or when a concert ends that you really enjoy. They say to stay curious, though, and it’s probably because once that thirst is gone, you sort of float around looking for the next best thing. There’s plenty to question. The search never truly ends. Maybe there was more to it than simply satiating the thirst?
What do you think?
