I Have an Unending Curiosity for Life and a Monkey Appetite

2 38

For years I have always been accused of having ape-hungry, occasionally internalizing the accusations, blaming myself. Choosing a field and getting deeper in that area, clear people whose path and journey is clear, I both envied and wondered about their feelings. Weren't they bored? It has always been a factor that frightens me when I move something that you think you enjoy very much, or when you try to carry it to a professional level, with duties and responsibilities.

I guess there is also the question of whether or not to be willing to pay for the awards. That's why I have always respected people who can say "My life is not without it, I can't live without it", but there were times when I had trouble understanding them at the same time, and from time to time I couldn't help wondering if they were really sincere.

Throughout my life, I have been a person with an interest in many things and an average skill and desire to them. Life is a cumulative flowing adventure; I feel the traces of this accumulation lately. As it flows, I see that it is the appetite that I, or in essence, society despises, the monkey appetite, that is, curiosity is a gift that keeps me vigorous in life, and as I continue to strive to know myself, I am just beginning to see it.

When I was in college, my friends who appreciated my versatility the most were my foreign friends, and there were similarities with them that I observed, yes, they had a lot of little hobbies. What they did on average just for fun… But nobody judged them for being ape-minded. We talked about this issue in our deepening conversations. I think that cultural and social differences lie at the heart of this issue.

Unfortunately, we do not have a positive proverb about "Curiosity", which is the raw material of science and art to produce something and enriches our lives, unfortunately, this is very sad and thought-provoking. “A lot of curiosity puts people in the grave”, “What happens out of curiosity”, “Too much curiosity is not good” For example, why is it not good? Why do we want to make life so gray, and why are we so afraid of colors, why do we want to turn our backs on the rainbow? In our country, curiosity is reflected as trouble, Goethe says that curiosity gives wings to everyone. Instead of fear, it gives courage. Thomas Gray says "An endless curiosity is the most important medicine for not aging", as if it would be a medicine for us.

We should have the freedom to wonder what we want in our lives as much as we want, and to combine our different curiosities with creativity. We are changing, we are shifting, I want to share my feelings and thoughts so that our children do not live. As parents, as educators, we must offer children many opportunities; From art to science, technology to literature, food to music, sports to mathematics.

It is very nice for them to deepen in the areas they choose and find the areas they want, and it is a situation that needs to be supported. We should applaud the children who make their choice. I agree on that, but we must open our arms to children who do not know how long they want to stand in which area, who enjoy trying different areas, and who love change and color. We should feed their appetites without likening them like monkeys, without stigmatizing them, and we should not miss their appetite.

We should say that curiosity is good, it is not something that should be avoided, we should underline that. Because I think curiosity is actually the raw material of learning, the gasoline of our mind. And maybe it is time to show that we applaud the curiosity of children by producing new aphorisms and giving them a lot of place in everyday life.

Without curiosity we would never grow as individuals. It is related to creativity; all creative people are curious.

As a child, I was also accused of being curious, with an implication of that it was something negative. I always answered: "The one who lacks curiosity will never learn anything."
