Curiosity can save you but sometimes it can also lead to your downfall

in Emotions & Feelings9 days ago

I read some posts in which the authors think being too curious about what their partner is up to is bad for the relationship and at some points could lead to a breakup or a broken home.

I am scared of what my partner is up to and terrified to find out, so I stay away from their business and phone, I want to be left in darkness even though what they are doing can hurt me badly.

The moment two people agree to be with each other is when they become one, whatever bad things happen to one of them will affect the other too.

This reminds me of the story of a man who was always cheating on his wife but the woman refused to meddle in his life so didn't even know the kind of man she was in a relationship with until one day, she realized that her health is deteriorating and went for medical check-up and got the shock of her life when she was tested positive for Hiv.

She had been faithful all her life and never cheated on her husband, so how could this be, she needed no soothsayer to tell her what happened, she rushed home to confront her man and also forced him to run a test too and he tested positive too and he didn't even know until that moment, crazy!

If the woman had been curious to know what was going on with the husband, maybe she could have saved herself from such an incurable disease but the deed is done... So everyone should learn to be curious about their partner, a broken home is better than an incurable disease.

When Talking about harmful curiosity, this could happen in so many ways, let me tell you my story.

We all know about online scams and phishing links and how many people have lost their life savings to such things, there was a time when phishing links were trending, and people also created awareness so others could be safe.

I had a lot of scammers direct messaging me, asking me who I am and what am into online, in the end, they tell me about trading stuff they want me to invest in to double my money blah blah, some times when I am bored I give them my attention and if I am not in a mood for it, I just block them.

One fateful day, someone dm me, telling me about a gaming project they just launched and needed a tester and it wouldn't be for free, the testers would be rewarded with 300 dollars per day... It sounded too good to be true and I knew he was a scammer but that day, I was curious to find out his tactics and his mode of operation so I played along.

I asked him about the process, and he said I was going to download the game and send me a link, oh well I clicked the link and it took me to a site, I could not go further from there because what If I was wrong that as long as I do not log in and put in my password anywhere I am safe, what if downloading the game or even clicking that link automatically install a malware software on my laptop, so before my curiosity make me lose money, I stopped replying his messages and blocked him.

A lot of people have fallen for airdrop scams because of their curiosity to see if they can get something from it. Recently a project called paws is giving airdrop to Solana Og, but you have to connect your wallet to check if you are eligible before claiming, this dissuaded me from it but I checked Twitter and noticed some people got the tokens while others were unlucky, I didn't let my curiosity get the best of me that I will connect my wallet to their site just to check If I get their tokens or not...

Sometimes, curiosity is needed but sometimes, we need limit if not, regrets calling.

Talking about the relationship scenario above, I know of a lady whose husband has another babe somewhere with a child for him...rented and furnished an apartment for the lady while the wife is still relaxing at home as the madam of the house, A pity, sometimes, people are not even sensitive about their environment or curious to know what their spouse is up to. I am sorry, as long as I don't pry into people's privacy, I do that once in a while to my husband..lol, I am curious to know a lot about him and so far, no regrets..even if I find out something negative, I apply wisdom and get if sorted out.

Scam links are numerous and even if u preach against it till tomorrow, thousands of people will still fall for it because money is involved, lol...the fear of missing out wouldn't allow us rest.. hahaha

If only she were curious, she would know what her husband was up to.

Nice one Akonam, plz monitor him well lol but only interfere if it is going to affect you.

The same situation I faced during the paw link, but I realize the risk was more than the benefit, so I let it go xd

but only interfere if it is going to affect you

That was exactly what I did last and till date, I am happy I did .. just at the right time..!

You men ehh..una dooo 🤣

curiosity kills the cat, when it comes to my partner am always curious 100%

lol, you should always be!

😊😊 absolutely dont have to tel me that twice😃😃

Curiosity is good, and it allows us to know many things, but in some cases, we need to be cautious to minimize the risk; otherwise, we will suffer at the end for our curiosity.

yea in some cases🙂

Connecting your wallet to an Airdrop site is almost always safe, because Browser Wallets do not transfer money except manually. (The wallet will ask you to Sign any transfer, and you can reject them!) Other than that, the website only asks for your public address when you connect the wallet.

All I know and keep saying, is, curiosity helps to live a progressive life,

only trees saw, knew and heard they're about to be cut down, and still stand and kept adamant, the humans will always find a way out or a solution.
