Really interesting piece, thank you. It strikes me that in a professional setting a LACK of curiosity is behind some miscarriages of justice and malpractice, if enough people fail to be curious. Stay curious.
I had so much curiosity growing up, but when my curiosity went against what my mom believed in I got in trouble for it. I was told I was inviting bad things, “demons” into the house. That caused me to lose the curiosity I always had burning in me. I’m trying to get it back now at 41.
I was complaining for weeks about that I no longer feel joy from any kind of activity. Of course, there are multiple reasons in my life that explain why everything tastes like grass and I believe they are valid. Maybe most of the reasons are not in my control but also, I was trying to find the parts that I have control on about my lack of happiness and joy problem. I thought that maybe I, somehow, stop wandering.maybe this even might cause my interest lost towards reading books (I was reading sooo much before years ago and I was loving it.). Maybe if I can start to spark some curiosity, I can actually start to taste life again. I didn't think that I can 'exercise' this. Also, I didn't think that stopping asking questions is a learned behavior even we don't realize. You give me both encourage and hope in this context. Thank you for your sharing.
Thank you so much for this! Curiosity got me as I try substack just to try to read a few article topics that I'm interested of. Really got hooked for a first time - like someone who just learned something new for the first time.

I’ve been trying to cultivate more curiosity in my life and you’re so right! It’s like a muscle we exercise to get stronger!
