Researching, learning and observing to experience knowledge has continued to motivate my sense of curiosity.
They say curiosity killed the cat, maybe so, but that is only if you allow their use of literal interpretation to enlighten your understanding. Otherwise, with the use of research, learning and observing for the sole purpose of experiencing knowledge, what I have found is; the literal interpretation begins to break down and what occurs in place of the linear becomes clearer.
Then to understand...
The cat never died, what happened is, the cat transcended beyond the limits imposed by others whom remain fearful and not so bright.
Another way of interpreting understanding;
The difference between a literal translation in comparison to a metaphorical one is as follows...
Literal puts everything in order much like a line of dominos and does not expose the hidden knowledge within each piece. With a slight view, the eye cannot easily see what numbers are displayed on each piece because the pieces are too close together for the sighting eye alone.
Pushing past literal explanation;
The inquisitive cat learns to observe every single piece, knowing in time all that is unseen will soon be revealed. Therefore that cat never died, maybe the cat just disappeared like magic, never to be seen or heard by again by the imprisoned mind of mankind. No witnesses no real explanation left behind.
'perceptions'
As for myself;
Researching, learning and observing, to experience knowledge first hand, has continued to motivate my sense of curiosity. The journey is about achieving a better understanding, and the rewards never cease to amaze me.
It is my educated understanding, the mysteries are hidden in all forms of knowledge we see, feel and sense in this world. As cause and effect have it, the inquisitive will continue to seek, and the secrets will continue to reveal the answers, but the final answer will remain a mystery to those left behind.
Honorable intentions;
This cat seeks not to control or to overpower others, nor does this cat care to. No, this cat wants out of the cage, simple as that. Not to harm or destroy but to become liberated and rightfully so.
