Curiosity killed the cat. Agree or Disagree?

Question

Is to have undying curiosity a good or bad thing in your personal opinion?

Lliam · Accepted Answer

No. I think curiosity is a really good thing.

I always loved exploring and it provided me with some amazing experiences.
My life has been an adventure and I'm not dead yet.

I also think that curiosity is the path to knowledge. I read and investigate all kinds of things that interest me. No subject is taboo. I have learned not to believe one word from politicians, mainstream media or search engines. I need to verify. I have also learned that much of the history we have been taught is propaganda, e. g. things like The Alamo, the causes of WWI and WWII, the "holocaust", the creation of Israel, 911, Islamic terrorism, covid, things we are told about leaders of countries our government wants to overthrow, just to name a few.
The only downside to that awareness is that people who trust those sources and do not research call me a "conspiracy theorist" or assume that I am motivated by some sort of ideology that differs from their own.

Curiosity and a limitless appetite for knowledge is a good thing, but honestly can be overwhelming and feel like it’s eating you alive when indulged a little too much.
I always took that saying as, if you poke your nose where it shouldn’t belong (illegal activity in a back alley alone at night for example) you’d be killed and probably better off not getting involved or snooping around out of curiosity.

This sentence is a missunderstood sentence on two levels. 1. It goes further; Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.

2. To go even further, that sentence is used when talking about how keeping a cat save and cared for at home will slowly take away its 9 lives without the cat being able to truly life. While giving the cat freedom may kill it but the cat will truly life its lives.

Curiosity is good but asking people too many personal questions about their lives when you're around them in person (private stuff); and gossiping about others rather than keeping your head down and focusing on what you need to do often leads to your finding out less information than you would've otherwise discovered about everyone's dirt. So I'd say finding that balance is important.

Well curiosity hasn't killed me yet. And boredom is a living death. So I'm gonna keep filling my brain with useless information that interests me. Because I can't stop. Maybe that cat should have prepared himself better.

Seriously, people who lose their curiosity or never had it to begin with seem like zombies to me.

It's not really curiosity, no, it's more that the cat didn't realize it was living on a permanent racing circuit.

Which is expected, most of us humans don't realize it either. We're just better at avoiding cars. Sometimes.

It’s a good thing in my opinion. You find out about both the good and the bad…. and you end up wiser than before.

If Curiosity Killed The Cat many years ago one of my car tires must of been named Curiosity & in my defense I think that cat was a suicidal cat to begin with. So much for nine lives.

But satisfaction sure brought him back, a line from "Look At What I Almost Had," a 1960's R&B song.
