Everyone should strive for the unknown
I belive that humans greatest strenght is our curiosity. But if he/she isent aware of the risks, and just blindly follows what ther curiosity tells them to do, then the curiosity turns into a weakness which could bring down even a king.
Although curiosity is an innate capability of many living beings, it should not be categorized as an instinct because it is not a fixed action pattern rather it is an innate basic emotion because while curiosity can be expressed in many ways, the expression
of an instinct is typically more fixed and less flexible. Curiosity is
common to human beings at all ages from infancy to old age, and is easy to observe in many other animal species.
Strong curiosity is the main motivation of many scientists. In fact, in its development as wonder or admiration, it is generally curiosity that makes a human being want to become an expert in a field of knowledge. Though humans
are sometimes considered particularly curious, they sometimes seem to
miss the obvious when compared to other animals. What seems to happen
is that human curiosity about curiosity itself, combined with the ability to think in an abstract way, lead to mimesis, fantasy and imagination - eventually leading to an especially human way of thinking , which is abstract and self-aware, or conscious. Some people have the feeling of curiosity to know what is after death.
