Quote: "Thats not good enough. The fact that something is not a waste of time does not inspire me to do it."
Question: Why is it that when people want to know something they do not know themselves truly want to know it?
Comment: As the narrator is presented with the question to why he wants to know the story of the Leavers he is baffled. Ishmael pushes him to truly find the reason to why he must know something. Which presents to me this, why do we feel that we have the right to know something simply because we feel we need to know. We truly have no other reason but curiosity and the thought that it is our human right to know all and everything there is to know. By pushing the narrator to truly comprehend the reason which drives the need of knowledge he as well discovers that the response is appreciated. Which as well brings me to understand that I must not simply ask for something and expect it to be given because I have a right to know, but I must appreciate the response and not demand it if it is not given to me.
