Pioneering Spirit

Where did our excitement for exploration go?

We subscribe to RSS feeds and have updates from FB sent our Blackberry to keep up with something we found and are comfortable with. We have PVR that allows us to set times to record our favourite programs - so now the decoder is full of programs we know we like and we don't need to bother with any of the other channels (which was one of the buying motives behind getting DSTV was the number of channels). And then we stop searching and don't find anything new ourselves.

That is until the Blackberry vibrates and a feed from a blog you were referred to tells you there is something new. Did you then discover it?

Isn't there an unmet base human need for discovery and exploration? Either in the physical or emotional/spritual realm?

What happens to us when we stop exploring?

We deplete the resources at the comfy place (because usually we consume more than we contribute) and then we stop growing and die. Anything to stop us having to move.

Discovery is more than an innovative insurance business - it is a need to be fulfilled.

What was the last thing you discovered - about your world or yourself?

What is the next?
