Your Curiosity is someone's business!

 

There is this famous saying "curiosity kills the cat". Being too curious most of the time lands us in multiple problems. Yet, as humans the urge to know all, possess all, experience all and be in all places at the same time is unrestrainable. What are you curious about? What are you longing to have? Usually the tangibles, that we see, touch and feel are the ones that get our attention. And especially, what we don't possess and what we don't know that we want to know are the ones that stirs up our curiosity.

As I quoted earlier, the business enterprisers use the curiosity of the people to satisfy their curiosity for a cost. Let me quote this for example, there is a caller ID app that provides useful information in terms of identifying spam callers and saves people from wasting their time and energy. But at the same time in order to urge people from using the free services to paid services they advertise and promote its helpfulness in many other ways. Most importantly, a feature that constantly reminds the users that someone, has watched their profile and then give a blurred picture of the person who has accessed our profile. This triggers our curiosity and people are longing to know who that could be. On valentine’s day the commercials were even more alluring, indicating probably someone special has looked at your profile. It has an impact on the lonely and desperate and people contemplate to probably subscribe the feature for at least a short period of time.

Man is curious about less satisfying things, which creates longingness and demands to be satisfied. Unfortunately, man fails to understand that curiosity and longingness can never be satisfied by the fulfilment of this world. In fact, people know it, but just keep trying to fulfil all their desires including the crazy ones to fulfil what their eyes desire and longing of their hearts. The Bible in the book of proverbs says like this, "Sheol (the place of the dead) and Abaddon (the place of destruction) are never satisfied; so [the lust of] the eyes of man is never satisfied."

Man, constantly fails to understand that the desires, longings and fulfillments can only be found in God who created his/her soul. C S Lewis the brilliant writer remarks, "You do not have a soul.  You are a soul.  You have a body." Let this remind us that we are a soul, which needs to connect to a living God. Inviting Him to our heart, satisfies man to the fullest. Not the gods whom we carve and make with our hands, but the one who is God incarnate and lived among humans, died and resurrected. He gave us hope that we can live eternally. Solomon the wisest person on earth, whose book is found in the Bible remarked, "But there is hope for whoever is joined with all the living, since a live dog is better than a dead lion." Jesus lives and you have hope in Him. You can talk to Him and He reveals Himself and satisfies you perfectly. I am not referring to the religious building but a God who can fulfil all your curiosity and all your longings.
