The Unknown...



            Throughout the ages, people have traveled and explored the unknown. When I think of exploring the unknown, the first people that pop into my head are Christopher Columbus (America) or the Dutch and Portuguese. These people all explored lands that were unfamiliar. Because of these interests, amazing discoveries were made.
            While I may not be exactly sure why some people chose to devote their entire lives to exploring, searching, and discovering the unknown, my best guess would have to be curiosity. Curiosity gets the best of many of us when it comes to several different matters. Curiosity may not be the situation every time though, but I am guessing it is not uncommon. While searching for a direct water route west from Europe to Asia, Christopher Columbus ended up in America. This shows that there are various reasons for exploring the unknown.
            Such A devotion and dedication to exploration also involves some sacrifice. One who is truly devoted to this, and matter alike, may incorporate this into every aspect of life. It may become a hard to quit habit and may get controlling. The excitement and thrill may take over. Once ones life is taken over almost completely by the unknown, who knows what will be discovered.
