Something we will have all of eternity..
No matter how much you're loved.
No matter how much hate you have in your heart.
No matter how much pain you've taken..
No matter how much suffering you've experienced.
There in lies the real dilema!
I am still curious..
And how can I fulfill my curiosity?
This is my name and my religion.

The creed of Humility & Labor might give you better mileage.

How is it 'mileage' is OK but 'kilometerage' isn't?

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it also enlightened him.

We don't understand many things without making mistakes and learning from them. I think one of the signs of being an adult or at least maturing some, is that one makes mistakes and then learns from them, we wouldn't have evolved or gotten as far as we have in the world without making mistakes and learning from them.
Curiosity is good because it also creates new neural-pathways in the brain which relate to new experiences, by experiencing new things we build up the neural-network related to that thing, over time this teaches us that certain rewards (learning as a reward/excitement of new experiences as a reward) come about from experiencing new things and we should be seekers of things which push our minds into new areas.
This type of seeking can be applied to anything logical/rational or spiritual/intuitive, both sides can lead us to new interesting experiences which help us see the world in a new light.

So curiosity is the wanting of new experience..
The will to go on in any condition.
God soothes himself by injecting love into his veins..

Good memory will be needed along with your Curiosity.
a Buddy of mine wrote down some "memory-enhancer" tools/games you can find on the net, I haven't checked them out yet, but do some google search's, can't be hard to find,,, I thought it sounded cool anyway.

Good memory is an elusive subject for me and yet I think that many memory-enhancer systems are very artificial in nature. Sure they can work well for memorizing lists of things but what about memorizing whole books, libraries and fields of knowledge.
Curiosity is great, though co-existent with it there must also be Creativity.

I don't know if curiosity could ever be "fulfilled"
Just as there is always something waiting to be discovered, there are many curiosities to be had 
Curiosity has led to where we are now , I'm not sure if I even know what curiosity is at the root, is it a yearning, a desire, a flame within us?

Quote:
AI - During the Middle Ages, the term "curiositas" began to take on a negative connotation within Christian philosophy. It was seen as a distraction from religious devotion and a potential source of temptation. The concept of "curiositas" was associated with excessive or idle curiosity that could lead to sinful or morally objectionable behavior.
However, in modern usage, "curiosity" has shed its negative associations and is generally regarded as a positive trait. It is now understood as the natural human inclination to seek knowledge, explore, and ask questions. Curiosity is seen as a valuable quality that drives learning, discovery, and innovation.
In nonduality there would not be curiosity, objectively it seems, but it is ever new, infinitely extending. So, the source of curiousity, inspiration itself? etymologically, "to breathe into". How about pure unified exhilarant? "to cheer thoroughly" or "to make very happy."

When you solve something due to curiosity it disappears and one moves on to the next thing that one is curious about.

Now that I think of it, some forgetfulness would be good too. Otherwise, sunsets/sunrises would get old after seeing them everyday... I think that has to do with the nature of "change", refreshing your mind has an healing, maturing effect on us and adds great depth to life.
