Humans were animals possessed of immense curiosity. Sogo Doma refused to accept that curiosity had not been included among the Seven Deadly Sins...
In the primordial chaos, when heaven and earth had just taken shape, traces of life appeared on the blue planet. The earliest rulers could no longer be verified, but as time passed, dinosaurs became the dominant species of the world. Yet even dinosaurs, as rulers of their age, were filled with fear toward fire. Only humanity's ancestors had approached flames out of curiosity...
Modern science had already proven it—this was a verifiable fact—that cooked food roasted over fire promoted brain development and gave rise to the virus known as intelligence. Thus, the terrifying upright ape stood tall upon this blue planet!
Other than terrifying upright apes, all animals possessed an innate reverence for fire. Why did people stranded in the wilderness always light torches? Because the threat of fire could drive away wild beasts. Only humans, only terrifying upright apes, would approach fire out of curiosity.
In addition, some small animals had grown accustomed to fire due to human influence. That was why so many pets seemed increasingly intelligent...
But they had ultimately accepted fire only because they had been forced to. Only terrifying upright apes had actively approached fire out of curiosity.
With that in mind, it was not difficult to explain why curiosity had not been classified as one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Curiosity was precisely the key to terrifying upright apes evolving into humans.
Sogo Doma wholeheartedly agreed with that, which was why he had never stopped his little sister from coming into contact with the world and learning about it...
After all, this was human instinct. Even God, who was said to be omniscient and omnipotent, could not stop it!
