Curiosity

"Pondering over the universe,
Sitting, he was, under a tree,
An apple fell on his head,
And his mind was never more free."

Over the years, humans have undertaken many a quests. From finding the elements to discovering new lands, they have done it all. There is, literally, no field which was not affected by the pest of curiosity.

Curiosity, no matter how weird or unbelievable in nature, is the most important gift given by the Almighty. It has shaped the Neanderthal from a mindless beast to an intellectual being. Had it not been for Da Gama and his need to find the source of spices, India would have been virtually unknown to the European nations. 
Throughout time, questions such as the one asked by Rosa Parks have made us more civilized and have given shape to the modern society as we know it.
Times have changed and so has the curiosity of the Homo sapiens. From reaching into space, we have moved onto more important matters at hand, which are apparent with world forums like the Global Economic Forum and movements like the Lotus Revolution.

Love it or despise it, curiosity will remain and as long as it’s there, humans will always find answers. So, now I ask you, any question on your mind?
