Curiosity can cuts two ways. It can severe a tie to something you've been holding on to endlessly, releasing you from a colorful optimism, allowing you to better recognize faults or clichés that detract from the truth.

On the other hand, it can run a deeper truth through you like a blade, unexpected, something your previous realizations never prepared you for.

One can feel like permission to move on from a lost cause. Some call this closure. Some call it gaining your senses. Call it an epiphany; but, this realization is not something new, just another conduit to choice you may have avoided, and what you do with it could be all you need to overcome any restraint and move forward.

However, curiosity, at no point diminishing, transferring from one subject to another, should be preceded with caution. The same cut that severs us from our burden, our hard earned nature, can surrender us to a nature of giving up, hopelessness, or worst, rob us from the ability to want to try again.
