     I agree, curiosity is the main reason we probably
contribute here.  I also agree with the double edge
sword, which seems to put curiosity as a dynamic
intellectual process.  It is either going to be
degenerate or creative in its' process, but which way
curiosity is going to be during this process is a 'I
don't know'.  
     What do you think about curiosities downfall?  A
curiosity generated by non-action (wu-wei).  This
seems to suggest that 'something shining' (something
attractive) can be mulled over, but not horded and
molded into what we or others think.  I'm caught-up in
the book reader.  Reading to Alice, but Alice falls
asleep into her dream world.  A book full of puzzles
or oddities, such as Alice in Wonderland, exercise the
mind, but also helps move the mind onward and into
itself.  The story is trying to get the reader to
'think for him or her self'.  So, where curiosity
leads somebody, the trap may be in thinking there's
something over the rainbow or into thinking the grass
is greener over there.  Ah, but it could be, but don't
let somebody else dictate that, why?  Maybe even if
the grass is not greener, the going on ones own makes
it more dynamic.  If we went by what others think all
the time, then there is never anything more outside
that little circle of people.

     That was an interesting bibliography.  Didn't
know about this.  Thanks.
