Compassion and Curiosity (#39)

My passion is understanding human nature. What is it about us that is the pure form of our natures? The superficiality of society masks our natures and is difficult to navigate through, but when we are successful, what we find is that we are all very basic. I have concluded that two traits dominate our essences; compassion and curiosity. When I say compassion, I am all inclusive of the concept of caring. We are never better as a species than when we act with care toward each other. Curiosity is the dynamic that drives our species to unlimited possibilities. I spend a lot of time wondering how I can become, or be a part of, something new or innovating. The compassionate quotient of my life fulfills the emotional necessity my heart demands. The curiosity quotient gives my thoughts the exploration of ideas, concepts and discoveries necessary for my mind to satisfy its nature to learn. It is my contention that without both compassion and curiosity unfettered, the human experience devolves to a lesser-than honorable/noble existence. My conclusion is that without compassion and curiosity in full force in our individual and collective lives disharmony ensues. However with compassion and curiosity, in individual and collective lives, harmony and a rich life experience will follow.
