I was a child who constantly asked "Why?"

Mostly, I asked myself.
I wasn't the annoying child who repeatedly, unthinkingly asked "why"
in order to drive my parents crazy. No. [b]I was just so curious about life, myself, others, relationships, reality. [/b]

When I was very young, I was curious about the microbial world. I wanted a high powered microscope so I could study this vast world. I thought about going into[b] medicine[/b], veterinary medicine and then I was enamored by investing my world so much that the TV detective programs, teen mystery "chapter" books and the advancing technology of detective "gadgets".

I seriously thought of becoming a [b]private investigator[/b]. I was that curious. I am STILL curious. I turn over every stone; that appears to be a real stone, covering a real issue. [b]Just because someone says "there's no there there", it tells me that there IS something to discover. [/b]

[b]Then my curiosity lead to creativity[/b]; I was singing and started [b]writing songs[/b], grown out of my writing of poems, short stories, etc. I still sing, write songs and play the Celtic harp (a little, humbly, I pick at it; play arpeggios, harmonies and lead lines) but I was and have always been fascinated in Science. In university, I chose a Bachelor of SCIENCE over a Vocal Performance Degree.

[b]I'm curious about what makes me and others "tick"[/b]. Why are humans so fascinating to me? Sometimes I feel that I am still putting things "under the glass" to get a closer look at what is really going on. [b]I am curious about things that matter,[/b] I hate small talk and believe that THINKING is vital. [c=#BF0080][b]It is not enough to ASK "WHY", it is to listen, gather information and THINK about what we learn.[/b][/c] Surprisingly, it may never lower my intensity toward curiosity; but that doesn't matter to me at all. It has never been my goal to "be curious", I just am.

When you ask a question and you get a response that is angry, confusing or even deflecting. YOU have found something. Secrets don't like to be found out. Watch. Listen. Stop asking and start thinking.

I was that child too. Curiosity kills the cat but the answer brings it home.

@SW-User What did the cat want to know?
