Derived from the permanent natural efforts to acquire knowledge, curiosity has played a crucial role in life development throughout history and has shown
itself to be one of the greatest tools the human being has ever had.
Countless are the times where it has helped them to make major discoveries: in science (DNA), mathematics (calculations) and even in ancient times, with fire, for example.
It is generally defined as an emotion that encourages people to obtain information about the environment that surrounds them.
Nowadays, curiosity is reputed to be not only a feeling but also an innate quality. Some people aver that it is the most important part of the thinking process; hence the reason for this writing.

At the beginning it was thought that wisdom came from investigating, but times have changed.
Everything has a beginning an and ending.
Enquiring is of course the decisive phase when discovering, though not the first one.
Thoughts go before actions, and prior to the investigation there is a primitive feeling that motivates a person to make questions.
It is curiosity.

Albeit relevant, the problem is that curiosity alone is not the first part of reflection. There are additional keywords that help to give it its significance. It is not just
''curiosity'' but rather a fusion of different experiences that enlarge its concept complexity but are rarely taken into account and therefore lose recognition.

In summary, intrigue stems of two core moments: witnessing and astonishment.
One witnesses an uncommon situation first and thereafter feels the amazement that it conveys.
Ere all of this, however, there is an adittional stage which is uncertainty; the true basis of knowledge.

Although being supposed to overshadow ignorance, curiosity goes hand-on-hand with it.
People like to learn because it is enjoyable due to the satisfaction it causes. That satisfaction rises from the initial desire for answers; which rises from ignorance.
The fact of being mindful about self-uncertainty is what makes wisdom so special, because a person would not be glad for gaining new knowledge if it did not recognize the ignorance state it came from.

If humans were not uncertain, there would be no pleasant nor satisfying intrigue or interest to elucidate the unknown in the world.
If there was no ignorance, learning would not be enjoyable anymore and all enthusiasm for it would be thereby forfeited.
