Curiosity threatens the story and that’s why it heals.
I’ve learned that in families, courtrooms and even within myself, the fastest way to shake a long-held narrative is to ask one honest question. I’ve watched identities wobble, including my own, when a question exposes the fear beneath the certainty. Most stories we defend aren’t truth, they are protection.
Curiosity doesn’t create chaos, it reveals it. Once the truth is named, repair becomes possible in ways silence never allowed.
