As I give this quote consideration,
it occurs to me how unconscious my own curiosity is.
I have witnessed the dazed face of someone
I am firing questions at and
instinctively tampered down my enthusiasm.
I've not given this much thought until now.
I've also been on the receiving end of
someone's barrage of questions.
It can be intimidating and exhausting.
There's something inside me
that feels like I should be able to answer
and it's distressing when I don't know.
(Notice the "should".)
Sometimes so distressing, I feel anger
toward the person for exposing
my lack of knowledge.
Geez. New learning can be arduous.
