Curiosity

Daily writing prompt
What’s something most people don’t understand?

Who exactly are most people? And what level of understanding do we require?

To me it all comes down to Education and how we present and implement Education. If we choose to continue to treat Education as a money making enterprise or indeed allow those rich enough to pay for “cramming” or Intensive Courses” to achieve grades to move onto the next exclusive establishment.

Unfortunately , that will bolster a vicious cycle where we leave behind” most people” and are left with a skewed elite who have an education deemed appropriate by an elite.

The joke is on them, as most people probably have a curiosity that means they will choose not to be left out, and will find other ways of learning.

To know and understand your own curiosity and be willing to follow it’s path is something that Elitism does not encourage and is dare I say it beaten out of us. Not anymore , there are many paths to follow and many interests to pursue and a lot of progress comes from “most people” following their curiosity to solve modern day problems.

It’s just that at the time, curiosity may seem a waste of time and we may not even understand ourselves.
