Do we have to know about everyone and everything?

I’m as curious as the next person but I don’t believe it’s our right or responsibility to look into everything that comes our way. Some things happen around us for a reason and some of those things should be investigated. Other things happen around us and although we deduce they are none of our business, we refuse to turn away. Are we curious or just busybodies? Is this something we can blame on someone else, maybe the news media? Perhaps we are just not in the habit of exercising self-control, that dirty word. We are learning that knowledge is power, power over things and others. But is it a good thing? I hold those people in high esteem who can say,” That’s none of my business”. And in higher esteem those who say,” excuse me for asking, but that’s none of my business.” We should not think that because we have the effrontery to speak out of ignorance that others should be required to answer any question put to them. Fellow earthies, just as God spoke the world into existence we should follow His good example and speak and ask only those things we can be proud of. Perhaps the world would be a quieter place.
