If I were to start religiously, humans were designed to fail. In most Christian religions, Adam and Eve had to be kicked out of the garden for humanity to exist. They were perfect, but perfect is not synonymous for realistic. They had to be "un-perfect" to be "perfect". God's "perfection" (at least with Mormons) is described as striving to be perfect. Not being perfect but trying. Anyways it gives me a migraine either way. I think human nature is based of curiosity. Which is a benefit and a flaw. So in retrospect I guess you could say humans are designed to fail. Curiosity led to everything good and in the world. It's tied to everything we love an hate. As a modern example, lurking around on someone's Instagram and finding out something you didn't want to find. It was your curiosity that made you want to click on the "tagged" tab and now you find out that blah happened. There's also a flip side. (When is there not) Curiosity made air conditioning because people were annoyed with being miserably hot.
Someone doesn't have to be actively thinking "curiously". Wondering "I wonder what would happen if..." Something as small as that is an example how it works. "Curious" is often correlated with mischievous and sneaky. "They're too blah and they get into everything" Anyhow, I apologize for the repetition but it felt needed.
This is an interesting approach to this post. I like it a lot.
