I have noticed that sometimes or most of the time, we humans are curious. Curiosity is good. It teaches you to experience new things. Explore new worlds. Broaden your mental horizon. You find new perspectives to look at life. Come to know new cultures. Learn to see the beauty that Almighty has created in this beautiful world.

It’s the curiosity that leads us to work ourselves for the betterment of our lives. We are curious that how life would be if we work harder, earn more money, increase buying power – all this to experience that how life will be if a person works from point A to point B.

A mere curiosity.

A traveler travels from place to place to find solace. Again, a curious mind makes an individual journey to unknown lands and develop acquaintance with a new world, learn, and explore different cultures.

Human nature, which brings them out of misery by being curious and learning different traits in life. But is it a good thing when it comes to crossing our boundaries and stepping into another person’s life? How much one can be involved in others’ life?

Has anyone ever bothered about limits?

Has anyone ever bothered to be nice when it comes to speaking with people?

Has anyone asked oneself if they are stepping into someone else’s private life?

Has any human ever questioned him/herself before questioning other people’s personal life?

Has curiosity some limit to it?

Is there any difference between knowing things and interfering in things?

What could be the limits?

What can one call the limit of curiosity?

What are limits?

There are so many questions, which sometimes have the answers, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes, people get fed up with all these questions and try to find solace by shutting everyone off from their lives. That raises another concern, whether this approach is the right one to take?

That’s a separate point of discussion. Which we will ponder upon and elaborate in later blogs maybe.

We have somehow justified the unnecessary interference of every individual by calling it “curiosity”. While curiosity means learning something that helps you grow as a person. Learn to give others their right to live. That bitter reality that we realize only when we have lost everyone for good.

Curiosity could be categorized as a desire to know. To be more precise, as a desire to reduce information gaps and cognitive uncertainty. Interest is denoted as an urge to “gravitate towards certain stimuli” (Shin & Kim 2019) and to engage with specific activities or content.

Where curiosity can be described as fastidious, demanding a high standard of excellence, difficult to satisfy. Right there we have nosy – being prying, inquisitive, or ‘curious’ in other’s affairs; tending to snoop or meddle.

See the difference there?

A very fine line that can build or distort one’s character to its core. Where one can help in building a strong personality with peers having healthy respect towards that individual, the other can destroy not just personality but the relations with peers and as a human, we all need people around us. No matter how lonely soul one is, the cure is always in being around people who love you and have a healthy respect for you. Which can only be possible if you and the opposite party, both stay within their limits and give each other space and privacy.

Sometimes, people claim in some relations that there must not be any secrets or privacy among them. How true can this be? The answer would be, not at all. As when we say that all humans need fellow humans around them, that still doesn’t mean that anyone gets the right to cross those limits and meddle in someone’s ‘me’ time.

Now you all might be curious that what is ‘me’ time? Let me tell you, a ‘me’ time would be something that puts your soul on charge – snooze time for the soul. Where one can think of nothing except for being at peace. That one moment is ‘me’ time. Everyone has a different way to find that ‘me’ time in their lives. Some find it while going fishing, some go for hiking, some go for binge-jumping, or skydiving, scuba diving, swimming, shooting, a spa day, book reading session, exploring new place… – the list goes on. All this doesn’t have to be with any human, one can cherish these moments and experiences all by themselves.

Having ‘me’ time doesn’t mean that the individual is tired of fellow humans but that shows that they do have the sense of self-respect to take a break and spend time with themselves and reconnect with their soul. It’s called healthy recharging of one’s energies and positivity.

Limits are good. Limits keep oneself in check and give you chance to breathe. I know a lot of you out there might not agree with this ideology. But if you sit back and do research, you’ll find that all the great personalities that ever walked on this planet, have achieved the brilliance of understanding limits. Limits, let you and others around you live their own lives. Whether we call it meditation, or art of achieving nothingness, or the skill of silencing yourself to connect to your inner self. No matter how you describe it. No matter how you put it, the baseline stays the same. That you must define your limit.

It doesn’t mean that you must have limits of impeding in others’ lives only. It means to have limits to save your aura, your vibes, your soul as well. There must be limits as to what people can say or how they can treat you, and for how long you can bear all that people hurl at you and then act like the victim when you finally tell them to hold their tongue. Limits don’t mean that you must shut yourself away from all the blessings that the universe has to offer. It only means that there’s enough for everyone and there’s enough for you.

Protect yourself and avoid anyone or anything that doesn’t fit your aura of peace and solace.

Protect your soul.

Protect your frequency.

Vibrate to the frequency of mother nature.

Define and protect your Limits.
