If Curiosity Kills the Cat, Does it kill Humans too?

We were brought up with this very quote, curiosity kills the cat. First of all I wonder which cat told them they were curious or how they got to know this for a fact. We have been told to stay less curious because too much of it will land us in trouble. Is too much curiosity bad? A natural question then flows out of this notion. In your own thinking, why is curiosity bad? Answer this personally.

The maestros of the world, the inventors, the innovators and everyone in between has often acted religiously against this quote. They have pursued any and all things that spark their interest and usually they find something amazing, new and moves the human generation a little further in that field. It took Charles Darwin years of studying insects, animals and basically anything living that caught his eye. He was simply following curiosity. Only after finding enough material and information through his unsatisfying curiosity was he able to formulate a theory which he had to use more years to solidify. The same can be said of Leonardo Davinci, Thomas Edison, and many others who have achieved numerous discoveries that have helped us as humans to become better and live better.

Does curiosity kills humans too? I find this false. Curiosity advances humanity and creates a better world for us to inhabit. So be not wary of where your curiosity leads you for you do not know where exactly it is leading you. Know this, history evidence shows that it often leads to beautiful places, things and amazing discoveries.
