Now you ask, what is this curiosity? The way i would define it is, curiosity is one's impatience to find information not intended to be known at the moment using a faster way (sneaking!). Yup, thats where all the 'whispering juicy gossips', 'letting out hot secrets' and 'evesdropping' come in.
Why are people curious? Many answers to that:
1. gives them power over the person they found information about.
2. satisfies the insanitable 'want to know' inside them.
3. or got nothing better to do.
So i had a conversation with this friend today which actually made me wonder about the levels of curiosity in me. Went something like this.
Friend "Salam!" (a devoted muslim)
Me "Hi!"
*yak yak yak*
friend: "Btw..i have a surprise for you."
*sit up straighter*
me: "A surprise?! What surprise?!"
"Well...it wouldnt really be a surprise if i tell you, dont worry ull know later tonight."
"I wonder what it could be."
"You'll love it...just something crazy i guess."
"REally?!"
"Yup. Ok ill let on one thing. It has to do with white...
*curiosity level hits a higher note*
...and water."
*BONG!*
"O my Gosh...no wayyyy!" ( in case if you dont know already, those are 2 of my favorite words)
*a picture with white half open shirts and blue beaches with sexy poses pops up*
"ummm..."
"What do you think it could be?"
"I dont think you want to know."
"OK...well keep guessing then"
"he he"
And i kept guessing. While working, while eating, while talking, while writing...even while trying to sleep.
I would say im not really a very curious person (ive got eons of patience in me, call me 'da ice cube'), but when it comes to certain things that i absolutely love, there is no telling what measures i would go to find out.
BUT in the end...it was all worth it. *smile*
Hmmm *thinking*
