Does that mean one should force themselves to be curious if they currently are not?

Make a 5 year and 10 year plan, it saved my life knowing I had something to work towards, its in our dna to better our own lives, I think the younger generation being forced to live with their parents has hamstrung their emotional development stealing any sense of perceived control over their lives.

Curiosity is what keeps us moving and growing.

I’d wager that everyone is curious, it’s just that they have convinced themselves the things they wish to know are out of reach.

I think they are saying not to force yourself to feel hopeful. When you could just be idly curious. And that, that is probably enough.

If you take advice out of context, it's not going to work. It's only supposed to apply to the problem at hand. You're also supposed to move toward the light at the end of the tunnel. Not purposely go in the wrong direction. You already know what's back there. Just more tunnel.
