Curiosity

(from Latin cūriōsitās, "careful, diligent, curious", akin to cura "care") A quality related to inquisitive thinking such as exploration, investigation, and learning. If, however, we were able to recapture absolute naiveté in our observation itself, that is, really to re-experience our initial observation, we should give fresh impetus to the complex of fear and curiosity that accompanies all initial action on the world. We want to see and yet we are afraid to see. This is the perceptible threshold of all knowledge, the threshold upon which interest wavers, falters, the returns.
