Curiosity is the lust of the mind.

Curiosity is the lust of the mind.

Summary

This quote suggests that curiosity is a strong desire or craving of the mind. Just as lust is an intense and powerful longing for gratification, curiosity represents a similar intensity of interest and drive to acquire knowledge or understand the world. It implies that one's curiosity is insatiable, constantly seeking new information, experiences, and ideas. Like lust, curiosity fuels a deep passion and excitement for exploration and discovery, shaping and influencing the way we engage with the world around us.

I used to listen to my dad a lot as a way of trying to be close to him, as well, because my parents were divorced and I didn't spend that much time with him. And I used to put headphones on and listen to my dad talk and sing and I found that quite... bonding with him, in a weird way.
