Here are Two Great Things about Curiosity

1)Curiosity can expand our empathy. 

When we are curious about others and talk to people outside our usual social circle, we become better able to understand those with lives, experiences, and worldviews different than our own.

2)Curiosity helps us survive -  

Our brains evolved to release feel good chemicals when we encounter new things.  As a result, curious people are happier and have higher levels of positive emotions
