"CURIOSITY"

Teaching Delivered Through

Frances Marie Klug

March 3, 1988

“Curiosity is innate in most people. It is logical to say all people are curious on different subjects, in different ways, at different times, and sometimes curiosity is aroused by something that might be amusing, academically interesting, religiously oriented. Curiosity is oftentimes aroused by enticing sales pitches; also, curiosity many times draws attention to people speaking on street corners, in parks, or when someone is using food as a come-on to interest people.

Curiosity has many opportunities and curiosity can be very dangerous. Many people never talk about what they are curious about, because in essence, they do not categorize things in this way.

Curiosity does not always show itself until a situation arises, a conversation introduces a subject that has some form of questioning in it, or interest in it. Scientists, engineers, artists, and many other talents, vocations, are stimulated by what they see, what they feel, what they understand, what they hope to develop, what they recognize, as inviting to their mental curiosity.

When people are overly curious about everything, they should be aware of whether they are seeking what is good for them, or what could be detrimental to them.

Curiosity is much a part of life, but most times it is also legally and morally out-of-bounds when it opens doors to someone’s privacy, someone’s personal life. We must look at all facets of our human abilities and capabilities, and be sure that we are aware of what is involved in everything we become involved in and with.”
