If we didn’t seek curiosity, there wouldn’t be a story. Heroes try new things. They embark on spontaneous adventures, explore new places and people, and generally wander through the world with their eyes wide open. In short, heroes are curious. If they weren’t curious, if they avoided the call to adventure, they wouldn’t embark on their hero’s journey, and there wouldn’t be much of a story. Being curious means that you are actively interested in a wide variety of things and genuinely want to know more about the world around you. At its core, curiosity is about recognizing and seizing the pleasures that new experiences offer us. It is about finding novelty and meaning even in ordinary matters that look familiar from the outside.
