Is curiosity a good thing?

Curiosity is, I guess something we all have to handle delicately. In children, it can be dangerous. And I guess in some cases it can be dangerous for adults too. But on the whole, I think it is a good thing. It helps us grow and learn, and hopefully it doesn't get us into any trouble.

Without curiosity, we'd have no new inventions, medicines or things that make our lives easier. Without curiosity, we'd still be using rocks and sticks as tools. But, curiosity CAN get you in trouble if you don't temper it with caution.

I think a healthy curiousity is a good thing certainly, especially in regards to learning. I do think that curiousity can be a bad thing for some people, and can lead to a lot of trouble. My mum used to call it nosiness not curiousity and when I started being curious about things that I should not she would say "curiousity killed the cat" As I grew older I would reply "yeah but satisfaction brought it back!!!

Without curiosity, we'd never learn anything new. So yes, it's an important trait!

I think curiosity is a sign of wanting to learn something. But too much curiosity or a curiosity that is out of place is improper is not good. I guess we are all curious from the moment we realized that we are alive and until know because no person knows everything. It is a natural part of human experience and it gives you more information about something. So being curious in a normal way is okay and good.

well its just a natural human trait which some people have, like me well 4 words for you: Curiosity killed the cat

I think that curiosity is a great thing. If we were not curious, we would have no drive to learn. In the movie Fiddler On The Roof Perchik gives Hoddel a great speech on why one should be curious, and expore the world around them, and thow that is the best way to educate one's self.

I feel that curiosity is a natural part of the human learning system. Without it, we wouldn't care about how things worked or came to be, so wouldn't learn at a very fast rate. I guess it can get you into trouble if you get curious about other people's private affairs and thereby offend them, but if you know how to control your curiosity then it can only be beneficial to your knowledge bank, and wisdom. Brightest Blessings.

The curiosity has the advantage and disadvantage. But I still tend to think that the curiosity is a good thing. Due to the curiosity, people will have drive to explore new thing. And it is beneficial for the development. I love China

Depends. Depends on if it'll kill you or not! lol If you're a cat, satisfaction might bring you back! lol Oh my! Gotta love it sometimes beautyqueen! lol

Curiosity can be a good thing, but it can also get a person into trouble. there is a fine line between curious and nosy

i am many trouble for my curiosity. i lost a lot for curiosity. and i want to take a try for my curiosity. i just do the things fellow the rule and normal regulations. never beyond it. or you will regret what you have done. and there will be many questions wait you to solve.

I think curiosity is very important. Without it we would not have any of the moern conveniences we have today. Had no one been curious, they would not have started on many of the journeys we have had. There would be no cars because we would not have checked it out! There also would be no flight because the bird would not have made us curious! It's possible that there is no learning or discovery without curiousity!

I think curiosity is one important part of human life. Without curiosity, humanity wouldn't have invented and discovered today's technological advances like computers, airplanes, robots, internet, etc. Curiosity is the spark that sets many people to discover and open doors to new possibilities. On the other hand being too curious about something may indeed cause someone in trouble. Like being curious about how to make a bomb for example. So curiosity is all about discovering and risk taking, and always remember to keep yourself safe and be cautious but free to learn and grow.
