Thought this would be a post about having your head up your butt or navel gazing. We should be best friends.
Nothing you listed fails to ring a bell. For example; I too had religious questions that the preacher and adults couldn’t answer. Figured I must be a dumb kid, I’d understand someday.
In high school the quote about the unexamined life being not worth living resonated. I couldn’t understand how people were fine being ignorant. Obviously I can’t know everything, but I’m a voracious reader and always have been.
How can people be content lacking curiosity? My wife is like that. She’s perfectly happy with her ignorance in all things related to science and religion. Imagine a Catholic who doesn’t have a clue about common Sunday school stories.
And I too want to know if there’s a name for what we’re seeing in others.
