good point, Lisa, that we don’t feature this practice more often.

If I can approach a discussion with curiosity, I’m much more open to actually hearing the other person (and probably more likely to be heard myself). It truly is a spiritual discipline!

I never thought of losing curiosity in this next generation. Good insight, sad but true. Love your insight about how true curiosity leads to humility.

You’ve got me thinking: Curiosity is a way to show genuine interest in people, as ask questions about their background, experiences, beliefs, etc. Those last four bullet points give us guidance as we do so. Thank you, Jean!

It is only true curiosity that recognizes our humility and allows us to connect rightly with others.
Blessings, Jean!
