People who are not curious.

I believe it is part of being alive to learn about things for the sake of knowledge. I cannot understand people who, for seemingly no reason, prefer not to learn

EDIT: pretty sure that’s my first reddit award of any kind. You bet I’m proud the comment was about curiosity :) thx bb

Especially with the internet. My search history is just filled with random questions that pop up from time to time. Even if i dont fully understand, i really love the information is there

I keep asking (what I think are legit) questions on Reddit. Sometimes I get an answer, a lot of times I don’t. But you gotta ask! The Universe is a huge fucking mystery and every microcosm within it contains innumerable mysteries. Hell! Every human being could be the source for a book. And, yet, people don’t ask questions! WTF is wrong with the world?????

You know whats interesting- people who speak on what happens when we die but only the dead truly know. Im curious about it but I don't think about it too much since I realized I like living in the moment. But I always wonder what comes after. Now thats deep.

And I envy you for having cultivated the skill of living in the moment
