About two thousand feet southwest of my house there is a hill that is often used for motocross training even though since the beginning of this year I have not heard or seen the crossers rehearsing there. But last Saturday there seemed to be some people training there.
Since about five years living in this environment, I’ve never seen them closely but last Saturday I felt interested to see how they did it there. There is a road to get to that location to the bottom of the hill but it is a detour that has to pass through a highway, and I chose to take a shortcut that must pass through a vacant land that is also hilly and filled with bushes or banana trees.
I don’t know whether the path I passed has ever passed by someone else even though around me, at least a hundred and fifty meters away there are several houses, because there really isn’t any trace here, water or human footprint. Still a few hundred meters away to arrive at the destination from where I had taken this picture, at the end of the crowd of banana trees that were quite tightly popping up in the middle of the weeds, which made me have to move carefully because I didn’t bring anything to separate it all, and to make sure my steps are safe.

You are a true nature lover Albert.
Thank you for your kind appreciation, Mohan. I think because I am part of nature then I have to close to nature. Hehehe…
You usually do find what you seek out right? Sounds noisy and interesting.
This time, I found what I wasn’t looking for, dear friend. lol
Curiosity isn’t always good. I thought the vacant lot was the land of snakes. Wasn’t your wife nervous that you brought back a friend in your pocket?
You are right about curiosity, maybe I just too believe in intuition.
My wife? She didn’t even dare to name the animal.
It is interesting, Albert. The breadth of what we consider good curiosity, and what we call bad curiosity is interesting.
I know as an employee asking questions is a good thing.
I know that as a parent, I am not always happy when my children ask questions!
I think curiosity is relative to good or bad depending on the various underlying paradigms and their associated behavior.
I agree! It is bad or good wholly dependent on time, location and number of times the person has asked why!
Curious indeed often face or even collide with various things. In terms of nature which is always in a dynamic balance, human action based on curiosity will only be compensated by a reaction after it occurs – such as weather changes (thought to have happened) and the anxiety of scientists who are concerned with curiosity and the dangerous trials on dark matter – while in humans, curiosity is often hostile as well as needed. “Why” is often countered by various authorities even though it has also been proven to lead us to internet civilization today.
I am not sure I follow your point, Albert.
If the end game of curious is to learn, then within reason it is good.
If the end game of curiosity is to annoy, then it is to be determined by the receiver.
I am talking about pure curiosity, as seen by scientists, truth seekers (spiritualists, Sufis, etc.), or anyone throughout history who is not satisfied with the existing paradigmatic of boundaries, senses, theories, rules, teachings. Pure as a curiosity that is not only because of the desire to violate, get around, or interfere. Many examples throughout history, such as Galileo Galilei.
ok,
well now I would say I completely agree (understanding helps bring clarity!)
Thanks, Doc. I will consider this as a new round of common understanding and mutual agreement for each time we talk about curiosity next time. Hehehe…
I’m sure that you succeeded … you pierced through the real jungle … well, you did not meet any snakes dear friend
I finally arrived, but they had left the arena. Oh… I was lucky not to have face to face with a snake, even though I saw two of them crossing between banana trees a few meters beside me.
I would hit a drop … I’d rather meet the left like a snake …. I did not have bad experiences with snakes only I’m really disgusting
Actually, I see that they are actually which afraid of me that’s why they try to avoid to face me. They indeed attack only because they feel threatened and defended themselves.
I also think so … even here quickly goes away … it is dangerous only if you do not see it and you step on it …. only here they are very rare … if you go for it you will find it hard to find
They are dangerous because they do have poisons, although not all types, and that is the reason why people are afraid. Because of that, we do have to be careful not to make the animal afraid – this is different from pythons and other similar – and attack us.
You are part of the land people who are fortunate because you don’t have to meet them or be careful because anxious about their existence.
Are they not exist in the forests of your country?
There are only more rare ones … they are not mortally dangerous, if you get an antidote quickly … I can not remember that anyone would die because of a snake
Then you can walk anywhere without feeling anxious, right?
Keeping a friend … the most dangerous animals in the forest are now bears … they have multiplied and they are getting more and more … now they will be ordered to shoot … they are getting close to the houses
Bear? Wow… How unfortunate… Maybe they have more difficulty getting food in their habitat lately.
This is true too, and people get into their place too much … they build houses on the edges of the forests and then throw waste into containers …. bears all unravel
In such conditions, I am confused who is to blame.
I think and I’m convinced that people are getting into the bear’s pros … it’s true that the lack of living space … there are too many people
That is indeed a difficult problem. The government must determine the right and proper policies so that the two parties are not mutually disturbed, and the community must obey them. In my country, this kind of thing also happens frequently, employers and communities sometimes like to dominate the areas that have been designated as protected forests and nature reserves.
You know how this is my friend … money is a holy ruler … today you can buy everything
You are right about that, dear friend. You can even buy God and religious leaders.
The only right in this world is that you can not buy health …. if you could still buy it, some would live forever
That’s true, my friend. That’s true, even though some people still dreaming of it.
They can only dream dear Albert
My opinion is that you managed to reach the hill and so also see the training.
I hadn’t arrived until suddenly the heavy rain fell, and even though I continued the steps, they immediately left the field.
Damage. You will try again the next time.
Of course! Maybe I just have to go through another road to be faster even though yesterday’s little adventure was also very fun.
How interesting, I would think it would be very noisy practicing.
Oh indeed! It is interesting and noisy at the same time!
