Curiousity
From as young as I can seem to even remember I was like every other toddler. Or at least in the general sense of curiosity with our surrounding environments.
Call it instinct, as early as the very first few days of our infant lives we unknowingly learnt how to yawn and blink, to fist our hands and kick our chubby legs, and it was basically a natural process that needed little or no encouragement. These basic facts prove that everyone is born with the need to feed their brain with knowledge as well as to discover the world around us and within ourselves our own capabilities.
Our curious little minds flourished almost instantly. But as we grew these natural instincts of constructive curiosity slowly faded away for a lot of us because of numerous factors in our individual environments. Be it lack of encouragement, which becomes necessary for early infants, to always be excited to learn new stuff and always be interested and reminded of the stuff that they have learnt. Or be it lack of adequate facilities. Not all children are brought up in the manner or fashion that allows them either the opportunity to be creative or the permission to simply be curious.
Our fastest learning stage from articles I have read and from my own personal belief, are between the ages of three to seven years old. During these crucial years, do children learn how to interact with their peers as well as their family. They tend to pick up a lot of habits and depending on what is introduced to them their personal interests may start to show.
Of course this theory does not apply to every child, and this opion of mine may be right in regards to the early childhood stage and may fall short when talking about the adoscelent transition. Either way my point is specifically directed to the fact that we all possess some form of curiosity that drives our interests and therefore creates our talents based on what we naturally good at.
Okay I know that I have strayed off topic and you are wondering how all this blabbering is related to the topic question, right ?
Well in answer to the question, I believe that people relate so well to colours, shapes and sounds because of our childhood memories. Okay, not so much the memories of crawling or reciting our alphabet, for instance. But more specifically the emotions and connectivity inwhich the growth from that infant and early childhood created.
Next, you are probably asking why my question classifies as wierd.
Well because it's not averagelly normal for people to go around wondering how their childhood could have affected them in the long rum, especially if you are in your late teens to early twenties.
Okay maybe that's all we do. Maybe like me a whole bunch of young people are sitting around wondering about the possible outcomes if we had been raised differently in a different society or country for that matter.
The world is extremely complex and we do not even live to be able to understand half of the science and cosmic or spiritual forces behind our existence. But hey, at least understanding that our curiousity to learn was within us from the word go, is pretty fascinating.
Here is a completely wierd poem that I wrote called Youthful Wish, when you recite it just know that I am sharing a piece of weirdness that is inspired by my curiosity.
Feel free to leave a comment about what questions and madness your curious brains cook up every now and then.
Have a great day...
