Curiosity Is Okay; Ask Away

Curiosity is okay.  Ask away!

     This past Thursday this guy who eats lunch with my friends and I asked generally, "If someone has a birth defect, is it their fault or their parents fault?"  This question made me upset at first but after thinking about it I realized that it's ok.  That the question he asked was not an insensitive question; it was just curiosity at work.  It might not have been worded in the perfect way but it was a question nonetheless.  I feel like I had no right to get upset because people have a right to ask questions and be curious. 

     In fact, I would rather people ask me questions  instead of staring at me and wondering how I do things.  It is always better to ask questions; better for you and me.  Once you ask I know you are no longer wondering and staring, and for you, you will have knowledge that you did not have before.  You will have a different perspective from the information given. 

     Curiosity makes the world go 'round.  If people didn't ask questions sciences wouldn't be advancing, technology wouldn't be where it is today and no one would know anything about anyone.  Curiosity is okay, so ask away.
