Curiosity

Curiosity can lead to fear.
     Fear can lead to anger.
           And anger can lead to recklessness.
But curiosity can also lead to discovery.
       Soon leading to learning.
             Learning leading to power.
Power and recklessness walk hand in hand.
        Leading to destruction.
                 Leading to wars.
Ending finally in an endless cycle.
        Starting off with a little curiosity.
