ism

A lack of curiosity results from the fear of being wrong, or even worse, the fear that somebody might find out that I do not know something. There is a pervasive cancer in our culture that causes individuals to feel the need to show no "weakness" by knowing everything about everything. The result is that people do not talk about much because not much is known about most elements of life. This kills curiosity, and reflective expressionism.

BTW-note to reader. This is a good time to add that I don't exclude myself from any of these ism's. I am a "guilty" as anyone! =)
