Curiosity

Being inquisitive, that is having a healthy sense of curiosity means you a have desire to learn and know about anything and everything.  Of course, as the well known saying goes, ” curiosity killed the cat”

This is a cautionary note, a reminder really to practice balance in everything.

While knowledge can be a powerful tool in helping you reach your goals or assist others with theirs, misuse arising  from misunderstanding or an incomplete picture can lead to negative results.

Worrying Yourself

Often when we think others have information they are not sharing (restricted or secret information) we get upset.  This can drive curiosity, but this is generally not a healthy curiosity.

Care is needed in attempting to gather information others might not want you to have.  This could be used by them as leverage to get a reaction from you if someone realizes what you are doing.

As well, you can worry about the unknown and make up scenarios that might be far from reality.  This can lead to actions on your part which you may later regret.

Self Control

There will always be things others know and you don’t.  And of course things no one knows.  Seeking knowledge in a balanced way lets you control how much, when and what you do with it.

Knowledge that others have, unknown to you won’t impact you.  Once that information becomes known to you it might have an effect but there is little value in seeking it out in advance.

To what purpose?  Even advance knowledge could be worrisome.  My advice, relax, all will unfold in the fullness of time.
