DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CURIOSITY AND SUSPICION Curiosity listens to a speaker and thinks, How did he come up with that—whats his technique? Suspicion doubts the validity of the statement or the motive of the speaker . . . or both. Curiosity observes an irregularity and challenges simply, Why? Suspicion entertains the immediate idea, Whats wrong here? Whos to blame—whos at fault? Curiosity analyzes with neutral, unprejudiced wisdom. Suspicion frowns and looks for deception and subterfuge. Curiosity listens to logic, common sense, and reason . . . Suspicion looks for something hidden, something held back. Both curiosity and suspicion may be terribly persistent, but Curiosity stays with the facts. Suspicion strays beyond the facts—and in so doing, develops without the facts.
