The Void
21 Nov 2020Quriosyty
Choosing to be curious is choosing to be vulnerable because it requires us to surrender to uncertainty. It wasn't always a choice; we were born curious. But over time, we learn that curiosity, like vulnerability, can lead to hurt. As a result, we turn to self-protecting — choosing certainty over curiosity, armour over vulnerability, and knowing over learning.But only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our own light. So our curiosity, if we choose to embrace it, can lead us not necessarily into harm, but instead into a void which we illuminate with the light of our curiosity. After all, it is not how we live in the light that enlightens us, it is how we live in the dark.
