Curiosity never killed the cat.

October 1, 2008

I keep wondering why curiosity killed the cat. Did the cat just cross the road without looking or what?

Curiosity is essential to learning. We must inquire in order to find out. By stifling curiosity we are stifling learning. Curiosity never killed the cat, stupidity did. As a parent or guardian or person with authority curious minds should not be suppressed but should be directed. 

By all means let the child play, let him hurt himself, scrape himself and be scarred. Adults should be there only as safety nets and guide posts. They should play an active part in the development of the child but should not shield the child from experiences that will hurt him for now but teach him lessons to be used in the long run. 

Curiosity never killed the cat, ignorance did.
