Locks and Curiosity
Locks. They serve us a myriad of uses. They protect our most valuable possessions. They ensure our safety. They save our privacy. They behold the world's secrets. Guarding doors or gates or safes or chains or pricey possessions, they can be protecting and aggravating. Locks can be great or they can be horrid.
Locks that protect valuable possessions are very important. They hold utmost standards while protecting our paramount prizes.

We expect that lock to stay strong and defeat anything and anyone who might attempt breaking or picking the lock and stealing our possessions.
Aggravating locks are locks that stop one's tracks, slowing his/her process. He/she comes to a dead end; locks obstruct his/her path. A locked door, beholding a destination. Locks that could decide many outcomes. These locks can surprise us if we did not expect its presence. Once our destination is no longer available (through that specific path) we feel aggravated and irritated. But, the lock always has its purpose. The lock may be there stopping visitors or shielding their view.
Curiosity, though often overlooked, is an underlying factor that locks preserve. Seeing a lock, a curious sense ignites within us. A gnawing feeling, the curiosity sits atop our brains, casting anxious feelings and impatient thoughts. We strongly desire knowing what lies within the lock. The curiosity is powerful and can often usurp any other emotion we are experiencing. Curiosity has often brought success, and even more often it has brought trouble. Curiosity is a sense that comes naturally to each human being and each human will experience it several times in their life times.
