Wanting to find the unknown.

I think the main reason that people want to discover the unknown is to be somebody. As society is in the united states today, it is very difficult to do so with countless numbers of expectations, assumptions and standards; a person starts to lose themselves in their work, devotion and career. I am not saying it is wrong to do, however, the devotion and passion used to make it to that certain aspiration becomes a mere fascination and rather a dream because of all they have lost for that particular aspiration or goal. To reach this goal of finding the unknown, devotion and passion obviously must be present. But i believe the real question is, how much devotion and time will this dream need to acquire to become a reality? The unknown is just that. The unknown. And in my opinion, the unknown is just an idea that is desired that has been created through the fascinating imagination of the most remarkable species of this world. Humans. With so many of us here, present, in this day and all of our overwhelming talents, hobbies and abilities, the desire of finding something, anything, that appears to be "unknown" becomes a competition. To rise higher on the totem pole that most of us refer to as "life" has become one of the highest desires that appeal to us. The reasoning for this desire is a passion that i believe we all share as people, as humans and as an individual. It is only a select few of us however, that has the patience, understanding and capabilities of this aspiration. But remember, a desire or an aspiration without a method of completion is just a dream that will never become a reality and will only ever remain just as that. A dream.
