Critical thinking often requires looking at a thing from more than one vantage point. I thought about that while visiting our daughter recently. Hanging in the bathroom is this saying: "Blessed are the curious, for they shall have adventures." It immediately brought to mind Bilbo Baggins setting off on his adventure with Gandalf and the dwarves. I remember, however, that his first reaction to the idea was more in line with the saying, "Curiosity killed the cat." No thank you, no adventures for me!
