Can curiosity about the unknown outweigh the fear of it?

Way too many times! (and too many scars Curiosity about the unknown is survival trait; you don't know if the unknown is a threat until you know the nature of the unknown. And therein lays the crux of the push-pull of survival instinct: run away, or check it out and .

. . Perhaps die.

If you don't learn about it, it might follow you and bite you if you run ... so maybe you need to go forward and see what it is ... but oh so cautiously ... ready to run at first roar. LOL! A lot of caveman got eaten teaching us both the value of knowing when to run away -- and how careful we should sometimes be when going into the unknown.

But for those who did, and lived: what a triumph for us all! More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
