"...filled with a boundless sense of adventure and curiosity?"

It seems that most people are fixed with a sense of curiosity that drives them to seek thier own level of adventure and inquiry. Otherwise Einstein would have said there it is, I've resolved it so now I'll have some pie and then go off to the widget factory with the rest of you blokes.

Curiosity effects each of us and each of us deals with conceptual conflicts and knowledge gaps in his own way and at his own level of intensity. There are arch typical ways of dealing with it I suppose. You could pick up a book of wisdom or scripture and be convinced you have a proper guide worked out by brighter fellas, you could wander, you could study, you could look under every rock, down every crevasse, and over every hill. But satisfaction or satiation of curiosity does not seem to be a permanent state for breathing human beings. The implication is, we are given an incomplete condition by design and wonder as a tool to deal with that condition, with a desire to perceive things as whole or more complete, if even for a moment, until we begin.
