A questioning nature was instilled in me primarily by my Oma and Opa although it was nurtured by excellent teachers during my primary school years and from my mother. I believe that my grandparents thought this so important for they had seen war, depression and awful deeds committed in their fatherland of Germany and that the lack of people questioning the establishment and others’ actions were one of the reasons why some of what they saw was allowed to happen. They both believed that it was vital for a person to ask questions about anything and everything that they could and both of them rewarded me with honest answers into anything that I asked.

Being curious is a very complex idea where Ian Leslie describes how being curious is about asking questions that lead to more questions. Leslie’s passage describes how asking complex questions that do not have simple questions can lead someone down a journey to learn something that they did not intentionally mean to learn.
