It was curiosity and lack of acknowledging God that made the people building the Tower of Babel to get disunited. They wanted to build the tower reaching above the sky to reach heaven but God decided to stop them which led to the destruction of the building. Perhaps we could say their curiosity to know where God stays and wanting to make a way leading to heaven made us have different languages today. Maybe we might be speaking just a language if they never thought of building a way to heaven and if God hadn't stopped them. God had to scatter the people and send them all over the earth to live.
Children are always curious to see how fire is burning and don't know what happens after that. They will try to put one of their hands or fingers in it thinking it's for play but when they get burnt, feel the pain and cry, next time, no one would tell them to run or stay away from the fire because they have known that it is dangerous.
Many times, I have been curious right from childhood and here is an experience I would be sharing regarding that. There was this camera during our childhood that was reigning among kids then. I so much desired it and disturbed our parents to get it for my siblings and me. Dad did promise us but on the condition that we should focus on our studies and have good results.
I was in primary class then. This camera is called "Roll and See". When you roll the camera, you start seeing different kinds of animals. He eventually bought 3 and gave each of us. We were so excited that day as we started showing every kid around trying to impress them. It took us more than begging and crying for us to get this thing and so, we cherished the toy and would even keep it beside us when we were sleeping. Dad made an inscription of our names on it so that when one lost his or her own, we won't have to fight over who owns the remaining one.
My curiosity came one day when I decided to see how those animals are showing. I thought if I pull something out, an animal would come out; see children's thinking. By the time I unscrewed the whole camera and used my teeth to pull out the wire inside, I couldn't see anything. I gave up and decided to screw back the way it should but I already destroyed the wire attached to it. After arranging it back, I tried to roll but no animals were showing. I became sad and was crying when I saw the camera has spoilt.
I went to my dad and he told me that was the end because he was not going to get any toys for me again. I would always be jealous of my siblings when they are playing with their toys while holding my dead camera with the hope that it would resurrect again but nothing happened. I accepted my fate and always beg my siblings whenever I need to use their camera.
Thanks for your time on my blog.
