What are you curious about?

I am curious about many things:

Why were women considered chattel for so long?

Why as soon as you find your voice do you find people who will tear you down?

Why are people so mean whilst remaining morally on the high ground?

Curiosity killed the cat, they say?

Curiosity just maimed me a little.

    I noticed a trend over the history of mankind, whether its the nobility and farmers, slaver and enslaved or men and women, the trend is that if a thing is good and of value to one group, that group will set out to chain, and strip the self-esteem from their target and convince the victims beyond doubt that they are completely worthless and deserving of ill treatment…even as the victimisers rely on their victims.
