In our current world we spend a significant of time and energy looking into other’s lives. It is what we do; it is the reason for Facebook and Twitter. In just a couple hundred years society has completely flipped. We are not only curious about others; we wonder what kind of people are NOT curious.
Social Mores – A Society’s Particular Values
“There was nothing she could add that would not betray an unseemly curiosity, and curiosity was a social sin of which she had never been guilty. It was vulgar, and implied that one’s own life was of insufficient interest to fill one’s mind. No one would care to admit to that; it was the ultimate failure.” Victorian Era thought process as written / reflected by Anne Perry in 2003.
