PASSAGE – 1
Anxiety and conscience is a pair of powerful dynamos. Of course, I can only speak for myself : Between them, they have ensured that one shall work hard, but they cannot ensure that one shall work at anything worthwhile. They are blind, forces which drive but do not direct. Fortunately, I have also been moved by a third motive – the wish to see and understand. Curiosity is another motive for action. It is also one of the distinctive characteristics of human nature and contrasted with the natures of non-human animals. All human have curiosity in some degree and we also all have it about things which are of no practical use. Curiosity may be focused on anything in the universe, but the spiritual reality of the phenomena should be the ultimate objective of all curiosity for it to be fruitful. Thanks to my mother my approach to this ultimate objective is through the story of human affairs.
