curiosity is a way forward
"They lack curiosity for how another thinks. . ."
a succinct explication for our current political impasse,
some leaders pointedly ridicule empathy,
ridicule any bending of self to explore possibilities,
ridicule variations on ways to see the world,
such as to see others not just as versions of our self,
curiosity is at the foundation of learning,
the sense that reality is interesting and worth exploring,
that being interesting provokes thoughts, intrigues,
and then leads to questions, answers pursued,
embracing disquiet in a way that is almost sacred,
embracing a quaking that can be
followed by new understanding,
curiosity might supposedly kill a cat,
but it also makes life intriguing
and potentially full of the thrill of discovery.
