Post 50: Curiosity

I was going to write a very witty post here about the idea of curiosity and why it is that we are curious, but as it happens, I've taken my antibiotics which are quite close to knocking me out at this point. And because of that, I've forgotten most of what I was going to write. So I'll leave the issue out for you to think about and discuss, if you so wish: does curiosity kill the cat or make kittens? We, like most living organisms are always looking for answers and solutions to some sort of problem...If there is no problem, we wonder what the problem may be so that we may ponder on its solution. Why? Maybe it's just for the sake of experimentation/knowledge, or for making life easier for us, or simply to get a thrill out of the experience. What is the point of acquiring knowledge about random things? For instance, why is it important for us to know if a grain of sand might weigh eh much on a Tuesday? What possible significance does it have in our life? Mitä järkeä? Quin és el punt?

I realise this entry is random and that is partially due to the fact that I am severely doped at the moment, so excuse me before I make a total fool out of myself...
