Just who is curiousity?

Curiousity killed the cat.  I like cats.  Like I really like cats.  Curiousity sounds like a real jerk.  I kind of picture him as a bratty little neighbor boy with red hair and green eyes that likes to torture animals. Ew.

But where would we be without him?  Without curiousity no one would ever be CURIOUS.  If mankind wasn't a curious race we would still all be Neandrithals (I don't know if I spelled that correctly).  So really we owe pretty much everything to this nasty little red head with green eyes.

"I did it for curiousity's sake"
"I just did it out of curiousity"

Why is Cury taking advantage of people?  Is he possesing them?  Does that make him a spirit?

He sounds kind of like a 'Bounty Hunter' sort of deal, like a guy who only works for his own good.  Real selfish like.

Anyways I thought about all this right after I got out of the shower yesterday.
